The 1998 May Carousel Queen, Sarah Garcia, crowns this
year’s Homecoming Queen Amy Holland Pennell.

22 CORONATION

QUEEN & KING 23

OCTOBER 1 4

Every year, one of the most anticipated events for the senior class is the
announcement of the homecoming court . This year's coun consisted of 1 2 ladies
and 12 gentlemen. These individuals are chosen by fellow seniors, but the final
decision on who will be queen and king is voted on by the entire schtx)!.

The first to appear on stage are the pages, Uira Smallman and Amy Krieshok,
who intrtxluced the members of the court. As the girls walk up the stairs to the
stage, a loud applause breaks out. Each is met by her escort, as they walk to take
their place on center stage.

It is an exciting time for everyone. Waiting for the announcement by Mr. Ron
Pennell to see who will be the 1998 queen and king has always had everyone in
the audience on the edge of their seats. Anxiety and nervousness mingles in the
air along with the usual feeling of joy and pride from the parents of the court mem-
bers.

The excitement came to a hush as Mr. Pennell made the long-waited
announcement. All grew even more silent in expectation of the names to .stxin be
announced. Everyone rejoiced as Amy and Blake stepped forward to be officially
crowned.

Sarah Garcia, the 1998 May Carousel queen gave up her throne as Amy took
her place of honor. Blake sttxxl beside her as everyone watched and applauded.

It is an evening everyone will always remember and cherish. The seniors court
members will treasure the memories and the newly crowned queen and king will
remember tho.se special moments forever.

HOMECOMING COURT 27

On SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, the 1998 Homecoming Semi-Formal
Dance was held in the gymnasium. The dance started at 8:00 p.m, and
ended at 1 1 :00 p.m. Hundreds of students gathered in the gymnasium
in their best dresses and suits to dance to great music.

It started off with up-beat dance music. Eventually the tempo slowed
down so guys could find that special girl and ask her to dance. Despite
the unseasonably warm weather, dancing continued until 11:00 p.m.

At precisely 9 p.m. Homecoming queen Amy Pennell and king Blake
Shepard danced to “Remember Me This Way”. Next, the other court
members joined Amy and Blake on the dance floor.

It was eventually time for the rose dance. Gentlemen purcha.sed a
ro.se for their special lady and danced to three songs. This year’s dance
songs began with Shania Twain’s “From I his Moment , followed by Tim
McGrawand Faith Hill’s“It’s Your Love”, and endingwith Berlin’s “Take

My Breath Away”.

The gymnasium was wonderfully decorated with red and black bal-
loons attached to long silver ribbons. Students not dancing sat around
on the sides of the dance floor or went upstairs to get their pictures
taken. A few moments before 1 1 p.m., the dance ended with the ever-
popular “Shout”. Students who attended definitely had a memorable
night.

WEDNESDAY

THE MIRACLE WORKER

The homecoming play is an annual event that occurs every Wednesday and Thursday of homecoming
week. This year’s play was directed by Ron Pennell and had a cast of 17. 1 he play was “The Miracle Worker,
a story about Helen Keller, who was both blind and deaf. Helen has a hard time dealing with her disabilities
but, with the help of Annie Sullivan, she learned how to read and write. Helen was played by Lora Smallman
and Annie was portrayed by Amy Pennell. Helen’s parents were played by Natasha Mangiaracino and Jacob
Kamphoefner.

Other principle cast members included Ryan Moenster, Megan Gibbs, Jordan Aerts, Camille Fensterman,
John Anthony Mell, Justin Kuenkler, and Alicia Gaines. The blind girls in tbe cast were Susan Baker, Andrea
Crook, Nealie Ingram, Amy Krieshok, Julie Mills, and Katie Serrano.

“This was one of the best acting performances I’ve seen in my past 34 years of teaching,” stated director
Ron Pennell. Mr. Pennell helped contribute to the success of the play by sharing his years of experience with

the students. , , i

Scenic design and technical director Beverley Scroggins also contributed to the play’s success along with

her stage crew and set construction students.

This may be the last homecoming play for the seniors. They will be greatly missed. There are, however,
many very talented actresses and actors attending GCHS who will continue to give great performances.

MONDAY

The Homecoming parade was held on MON-
DAY, OCTOBER 12 at 6 p.m. Everyone gathered
at Veterans Parkway. From there they turned
onto Madison Avenue and concluded in the
back ofGCHS.

The theme for this year’s parade was “Roast
the Redbirds.” As is tradition, the judges waited
along the parade route to select the first and sec-
ond place winners. Jobs for Illinois Graduates
took first place while Tri-M took second. Both
floats took a lot of hard work and time to make.

Following the parade, students took part in a
pep rally and bonfire. During tbe pep rally, the
cheerleaders challenged the football players to
a limbo competition, and the winners were cho-
sen by Mr. Rotter. The cheerleaders won, mean-
ing the football players had to be the cheerlead-
ers slaves for Homecoming Week.

After the pep rally, assistant principal, Allen
Kennedy put a match to the bonfire. A sacrificial
Redbird player was thrown into the flames by
Jeremy Hunter and Joseph Laird. The fans
cheered as the band played the school song.

As the evening ended students talked about
the Friday night football game and predicted a
victory over the Redbirds.

42 COME AS YOU ARE DAY

OCTOBER 13

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, was the first day of Home-
coming Week. This day was dubbed, “Come as You
Are” and “Opposite Sex Day.” In order to display their
school spirit, the students came to school in their
pajamas or as the opposite gender.

The students who came in the apparel they wore
the night before added a few finishing touches to
their wardrobe. They brought stuffed animals, such
as Piglet, Pooh, Bugs Bunny, and Trolls. They also
wore big slippers in the shapes of bears, dogs, rabbits,
footballs, and the grinch. Some female students, also,
pulled their hair back and put it up in pigtails. The two
best aspects of the day were: (1) students could get
ready in a hurry, and (2) it was a very comfortable day.

Several bold male students dressed in drag for this
special day. They searched closets and basements
and came to school wearing their mom’s or sister’s
old clothes. Some went so far as to w-ear makeup,
stockings, high heels, and wigs. These “ladies” defi-
nitely turned .some heads, and left .some wondering if
that woman was really a woman.

Some female students were courageous enough to
dress as men. They also raided closets and boxes to
find suits and other clothing that may have once
belonged to their father or brother. Some even drew
on mustaches, beards, sideburns, and a five o’clock
shadow. Some “gentlemen” sported dress shoes,
dre.ss shirts, and ties to complement the suits.

On this day students were able to know how nice it
is to come to school in their pajamas, and some were
able to experience what it was like to dress as the
opposite sex. All students who participated had a
great time displaying their Warrior pride.

44 WACKY HAIR DAY

OCTOBER 14

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 was “Wacky Hair” and
“Color Day.” It was a day to let your true colors shine
through, whether it be your hair or the color of clothes
you wear. Many students took part in this day as they
dressed in colors assigned to their class. They also made
their hair as wacky as possible.

Color day was a chance for every class to differentiate
from each other as they sported their assigned color.
Seniors were asked to wear green, juniors dressed in
orange, sophomores had yellow on, and freshmen came
to school in blue. The faculty and staff members wore
red.

The wacky hair part of the day was also a major suc-
cess. Students put on a thick layer of hair spray, hair
color and other hair products to create an interesting
and creative hair design. Jello was a popular choice to
create a hair raising experience.

Some chose not to go to such extremes. Many stu-
dents opted for them more mild styles. The more
relaxed styles were pigtails, ponytails, crimping and
extremely teased hair.

Wednesday proved to be a colorful day full of school
spirit and sometimes strange looking hair.

46 60’S - 70’S - 80’S

OCTOBER 15

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15 was 60s, 70s, 80s and Plaid and
Stripe day. There were students who wore plaids and stripes, or
even mixed the two designs. Others chose to blend plaids with
60s and 70s.

Those students who chose to dress in the distinctive apparel
from ‘generations gone by’ dug through anything they could
find to make their wardrobes authentic. Many went to vintage
clothing stores looking for the right type of pants, shirt, or
dress.

Students dressed as hippies from the 60s while many others
decided to wear the leisure suit style that came with the 70s.
They sported love beads, headbands, bandanas, peace sign
necklaces, clogs, and straight-hair wigs. It w as like an explosion
of the second-hand store.

It was fun to look down the hall and see greasers, hippies, and
flower children dressed up for the occasion. It added to the
spirit of homecoming and made the week a little more inter-
esting. For one day, the students at Granite City High School got
to see what the previous generation experienced .. a day of
peace, love, and disco.

60’S - 70’S - 80’S 47

FRIDAY

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 was designated “Spirit Day”. It
was the time everyone showed their Warrior pride as stu-
dents and faculty sported red shirts. Members of the GCHS
athletic teams showed their school spirit by wearing their
uniforms, jerseys, or team shirt.

Dressing in the school colors is only one way to show
your Warrior pride on spirit day. There was a special pep
rally during seventh hour to celebrate the 1998 home-
coming.

Some of the girls wore red and black ribbons in their hair
and painted their fingernails in the school colors.

Many also wore a homecoming mum. The boys wore
temporary Warrior head tattoos on their faces and dressed
in red shirts.

At the rally, the band led the student body in the school
song. The cheerleaders, color guard, and pom squad al.so
performed outstandingly, l^ter, the cheerleaders led the
students in the ‘spirit cheer’. This year’s homecoming pep
rally winner went to the junior class of 2000.

As an added bonus, Sean Kuehnel and Angela Brown
were crowned Mr. and Miss sexy legs. As with all pep rallies
everyone .sang, cheered, and had a wonderful time. It was
a good way to help celebrate the final day of the Home-
coming Spirit Week.

52 FOOTBALL GAME

OCTOBER 16

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 was the night of the tra-
ditional Homecoming game. The theme, “Roast
the Redbirds,” was echoed throughout the
stands as parents, faculty, and fans cheered
loudly for the Warriors. The team hustled
throughout the evening and took a 34-28 victo-
ry over the Alton Redbirds.

The bleachers were overflowing with Warrior
fans eager to see a good game and the halftime
show. As halftime approached, the band and
auxiliary squads began to make their way to the
football field. When the music began, the fans
could feel the presence of an outstanding per-
formance. Everyone was dressed in school col-
ors of red and black and tried to follow along in
perfect time to the music.

Prior to the entertainment, the members of
the Homecoming court were driven around the
football field in new and classic automobiles.
Each girl sat with her escort in an open convert-
ible waving to the crowd and family members.

Everyone who attended had a great time. Past
graduates returned home to mingle with stu-
clents and administrators. It was a pleasant
evening for every one who ventured out and sat
in the continuous rainfall to spend some time at
the 1998 homecoming.

The team members as well as the coaches will
remember what everyone contributed to this
year’s season. They will also remember the glo-
rious victory over Alton and how the W arriors
roasted the Redbirds.

MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE

’s dance. Do you know how to do the cha-cha or maybe the waltz?
If not, don’t worry about it. When you become a .senior, you will learn
these two dances and many more. Senior dance is offered to twelfth-
graders in their P.E. class.

Dance class is fun and exciting, but the first day is a little .scary. As
you walk into the gym, the first thing you do is look around. Then you
begin to wonder who will be your partner.

Some of the dances you will learn in senior dance are the jitterbug,
the cha-cha, the waltz and the fox trot, but on every Friday the seniors
are offered a chance to square dance. Everyone learns how to have
gotxl cooperative skills and a chance to meet new people.

“My favorite dance is the jitterbug because it is a fast dance. My part-
ner and I add extra turns and spins to the dance when po.ssible.”- Chris
Singleton “Senior dance is fun if you and your partner are compatible,
like mine Debra Aaron.” - Jeff Ignatz
“Fridays are the best, because we get to square dance,” - Robyn
Slater and Jamie Raub
“I like the cha-cha.” - Greg CcK'hran

“My favorite is the waltz becau.se 1 know it the best.” - Earl Clark
“Senior dance is an excellent cla.ss. It gives students the opportuni-
ty to learn how to really dance.” - Nick Zotti
“I love .senior dance becau.se it is fun learning all the different
dances.” - Sarah Breidenbach

By the time the nine weeks were over, most everyone was glad to be
enrolled in the cla.ss. They learned traditional dances and .some of the
ones they thought they would never try.

more perfect” ... WHAT? If you ever had a civics class at GCHS, you
would know it is "to form a more perfect union.” These powerful
words are the basis and foundation of our central government.

Civics is a required cla.ss that every student must take throughout
their high .school days. The basic requirements for the class are a pass-
ing grade on the United States Constitution test and the Illinois Con-
stitution test. You have to get at least a 70-percent on the tests to pa.ss
the class and you have three chances to pass each test.

In civics, you learn about the origins of the government system, the
legislative, executive, and judicial branches. You also learn how the
constitution was written and how it is interpreted today. You study
several court cases with strong i.ssues and how the ca.ses affected the
constitution.

There are several teachers for this course. They are James Lombar-
di, Tom Turner, Gary Kasprovich. Ron Gilreath taught a cla.ss for a
.semester. .Mr. Ix)mbardi has his students report on a current event
news article every week. They get in groups to work on a.ssignments,
and play a game of review jeopardy before each quiz or test.

.Mr. Turnerencourages his students to pa.ss both tests the first time.
To help them prepare, he pa.s.ses out many worksheets and dittos. He
al.so gives them study guides and stresses the importance of the U.S.
and Illinois Constitutions.

Mr. Kasprovich always tries to make his class very interesting. He
stres.ses the Con.stitution and encourages his .students to take an
active interest in the government. He al.so encourages students to
read, listen, and watch the news.

Civics is a very important and significant class. It teaches us about
our working government and how it affects us right down to the city
level. When you take this cla.ss, pay attention, complete your a.ssign-
ments, study, learn so you can know your government.'

THE BIG MACHINERY

Vocational Machine Shop is one of the hardest working
classes at GCHS. It is taught by David King, who brings his
nineteen years of experience to his students. The class has 23
students, and is offered to juniors and seniors. The 23 stu-
dents consist of 22 boys and 1 girl. The students meet every-
day during second, third, and fourth hour, making the class
worth 1.5 credits per semester.

This three hour course teaches the students about layouts,
bench procedures, and basic machine operations. Students
work with various layouts, hand tools, and machines. This
class teaches proper use of metals, materials, and processes.

Machine shop students stay ver>' busy throughout the year.
They work on such projects as making tools and engines.
They often fix various items that may get broken in the
school. This year they worked on the school time capsule.

Whether they are making tools or fixing something, the
students are always busy on one project or another. Mr. King
says that he “enjoys teaching machine shop.” He and his stu-
dents look forward to many great and bu.sy hours.

YOU’RE NOT BEHIND THE PLOW

Deciding what one wants to do after high school can be one of the most stressful decisions of their life. There are some stu-
dents who already know what they want to do, where they want to live, who they plan to work for, and how they are paying
for college.

However, many students have a much harder time making decisions about their future. There are .several different rea.sons
why it’s difficult for them to prepare for their futures. Some students do not have the financial means to pay for college, oth-
ers need more time to decide w'hat they want to do, and some are simply afraid of making any important decision that involves
their future. An option to that situation is entering the military after graduation.

The United States military is an excellent option for any student who.se future is uncertain. The military offers a full salary
and a free college education for anyone in need of financial support. Members can also gain extra money with experience,
which they can later put towards a hou.se, a car, or a family. For tho.se that don't know what career to pursue, joining the mil-
itary gives them a gtiod opportunity to think over their options while they gain knowledge, skills, and money.

For students that don't feel ready to make the giant leap into adulthood, the militar>’ also offers character building experi-
ence, mind expanding skills, and a feeling of succe.ss after a challenging task has been completed. There is also a certain
amount of pride that goes with being in the military'. Members of the military are symbolic of a strong, mature nation and

demand respect from the average person simply by being them.selves.

In the fall of the 95-96 school year, students were offered a new P.E. class choice. The new class, taught by faculty member
Linda Hill, Sergeant Garfield Duckett, Sergeant Connell, and other members of the US. Army, was called Basic Training. Some
students cringed when they heard about the new cla.ss, but most now praise it as a truly enlightening experience. It gave them
the opportunity to get a glimpse of w hat to expect in the military. . ■ u u

The rigorous training, the lengthy runs, and the strenuous calisthenics were very difficult for the students during the begin-
ning days. There was an obvious difference between the students “before and after the training. It was evident they were tak-
ing more pride in them.selves and grateful for the class. Students began to ask for more information about the military after
their basic training experience. For .some, this class was enough to convince them to “join up.

Recruiters often visit the cafeteria during all lunch hours to answer any questions. .Military representatives can also be con-
tacted by calling or stopping by a local recruiting office. Maybe one day you can say you are part of the military with the mot-
toes: Be All That You Can Be, Aiming High, Looking For A Few Good .Men, or Anchors Aweigh. Or, at least be all that you can

TWENTY BEEPS A MINUTE

Jerry Springer is undoubtedly the king of talk shows.
Although he’s no superman, everyone loves him. With all the
cheating, screaming, boyfriend stealing, stripping, transves-
tites, fighting, blurred-out btxly pans, and plenty of censored
profanity, there’s almost no time for talk on his show.

This mayhem, however, has made Springer one of the most
notorious men on television. His show. The Jerry Springer
Show, is now watched by all kinds of people, young and old.
He is the No. 1 talk show host of television and seen all over
the world. He is becoming one of the most recognizable fig-
ures in the nation.

His recent popularity sparked him to write a book. The
Ringmaster, which has been made into a movie of the same
title. He has also made several appearances on other talk
shows, and been in the political ring for many years. He has
gone from mayor of Cincinnati to king of the talk shows.

People enjoy Jerry Springer for a variety of reasons. Some
like to watch the disagreements and fights, while others like
the many interesting topics. Other people like to hear the
guests argue, or reveal their startling secrets. When asked
why they liked the Jerry Springer Show, some GCHS seniors
replied:

“I like it because sometimes when they get in a fight, super-
fluous outer garments are torn or lost, and I like that kind of
thing.” — John Ahlers

“1 like to watch the Springer Show so I can sit down, smile,
watch the fools on the show, and say to myself, ’Ahhhh. I’m

not like those people.’ and then I wonder, ’What’s on channel
4 ?’” — Jacob Kamphoefner

“I enjoy yelling, ’Jerry! Jerry!’ with the crowd.” — Nichole
Smith

“We should take a field trip to his show in Chicago. The tick-
ets are free and it would be an experience.” — Ron Shafer

“I like to see the people fight and yell at each other.” — Jef-
frey Ahlers

“The Springer Show is hilarious, but it scares me at times.”
— James Watson

“We met Jerry and spent an hour with him when he was in
University City. He was kind, polite, and very enthusiastic
about his book and show. He’s amazed and happy that his
show passed Oprah in the ratings and is now the No. 1 talk
show on television.” — Christine & Dimana Spudich

“My favorite part of the show is the fighting. It’s also kind of
depressing that so many people have so many problems.” —
Nick Zotti

“1 love Steve the security guy.” — Christina Brand

“I am in love with Jerry Springer, and I like when the guests
throw their shoes.” — Felicia Moh.sen

Thejerry Springer Show is certainly a wild and exciting one-
hour program. The guests are occasionally out of control, and
the topics are never boring. If you’ve never seen it .. try it ..you
might like it. And always remember what Jerry .says, “Take care
of yourself, and each other.”

DO YOU REMEMBER SNOW DAYS?

Imagine this. The words were just what you wanted to hear. It was wonderful. The alarm went off, you hit
the button to shut it off, got out of bed, turned on the television to Channel 2, and heard Glenn Zimmer-
man say, “Classes are also cancelled at Granite City High School.” It was Monday, the day after the long
Christmas break. Now there was nothing to do but roll over and go back to sleep for a couple of hours.

Those tiny little white snowflakes were heaven sent. Now all you had to do is decide what to do with the
remainder of the day after you woke up.

All day you watched it fall deeper and deeper. If this keeps up, there won’t be school tomorrow. That
would mean we were not in school from December 23 tojanuary 5.

And sure enough, school was cancelled again. What would happen tomorrow? Would it keep snowing
and the temperature remain in the negative numbers as it did for the last few days?

The next day ended up to be extremely cold, and we had school for the next two days. However, on Fri-
day, January 8, school was cancelled again. Monday and Tue.sday came around and we were back in school.
But on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, (Januar\' 13, 14, 15) school was out again.

The final exam schedule had to be revised and students got confused. A majority of them watched Chan-
nel 6 to get the correct information cm the exact days they would have to take a final.

January 18 was on a Monday and it was Martin Luther King’s birthday. That meant no school again. The
doors finallv opened once again on January 19, 1999.

There were a few students, however, who decided they needed an extra day off to recuperate from their
snow days. St)me didn’t need to be here because they didn’t have final exams to take. Others couldn’t get
their cars started and walked into school a few minutes late.

Those who actually made it to GCHS were dressed in layers of sweaters and coats. Some students still
sported their traditional tee-shirts, because they thought it was part of their classic image. They had to retain
their image, but they looked stiff and cold as they strolled through the halls of the school.

As Nick Zotti summed it up, “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”

STYX AND STONES

1 he year was just like any other year at Gt:H?>. 1 here were
many crazes and fads that were seen in the hallways. One of
the.se was thebigvarietyoftee-shirts visible throughout the
year.

It didn’t matter if the weather was 90-degrees or if the
temperatures dropped to 10-degrees, the tee-shirts were
still worn. It was a matter of style and image.

“Tee-shirts show character.” — Ja.son Hileman

“Thev make me feel all warm and cuddly inside.” — .Mike
Weis

“1 like tee-shirts, 1 think they are very comfortable.” —
Dena Williams

Some of these shirts were just plain colors and others
were bright neon colors. There were ones with names on
them, sweetheart names, places visited, and others that
adverti.sed places of employment.

“All of my tee-shirts have something t<j do with the
infantry, becau.se I'm in the Army." — Donald Cardin

“1 have an Iowa tee shirt because 1 visited friends there
once.” — Chri.s.sy Clifton

Als(j included in the variety of shirts were the cla.ssic con-
cert and wrestling shirts. Some of the.se included local
bands Urge and Gravity Kills, while others sported signing
sen.sations. Garth Brooks, Tina Turner, Elvis Presley, the

Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. Wrestling tee-shirts consist
of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, NWO, and Goldberg.

Students had a variety of reasons for wearing the.se
de.scriptive shirts. Some said the shirts were ’cool,’ and oth-
ers wanted to show they ’went to a concert last night. ’ Other
students indicated they ’wanted to be like everyone el.se in
.sch(K)l,’ or ’it was the only one clean and pre.sentable I could
wear to .school today.’

“I like the varsity club tee-shirts because they have every
spt)rt on them and we got to pick them out.” — Melissa
Montgomery

“My mom picks out tee shirts for me to wear every- day
because I’m not color coordinated.” — Kevin Ragsdale

“Salvation Army tee-shirts are the best tee-shirts around.”
— Christina Brand

“1 like to spice up my life with my Spice Girls tee-shirt.” —
Felicia Moshen

“I like my Old Navy tee-shirts becau.se they are comfort-
able and affordable yet still fashionable.” — Nancy Ellington

Tee-shirts will be around for ever and ever. They were
worn by this younggeneration, by their mothers and fathers,
and the next generation will clo the .same. They will always
be worn and always be known as ’the classic image.’

IMPRESSIVE IMAGES

School jackets are seen daily throughout the hall-
ways. They represent activities, sports, and vocation-
al classes. Some of these include the pom squad,
color guard, band, cheerleaders, and vocational
occupations.

Some of these jackets have standard designs, but
some are drawn out by the students who participate
in that particular cla.ss or organization.

School jackets are worn for many reasons. Some
students wear them because it’s cold outside and
they need the warmth. Others wear them to repre-
sent the .school or support the school activity.

The following .seniors volunteered to an.swer the
question, “Why did you buy a .school jacket?”

“I like wearing my cheerleading jacket to support
the boys soccer team as a cheerleader.” — Peggy
Hammond

“1 wear my band jacket becau.se it’s warm and I like
supporting the school.” — Angie Morris

“The entire squad got matching jackets to show
our school spirit.” — Donna Mosley

“I got my lettermen’s jacket to represent my
.school.” — Ja.son Newman

Vocational students also get nicely designed
jackets. Classes such as machine shop and voca-
tional welding get jackets because they are proud
to be part of that particular vocational program.

The vocational students always make sure their
jackets sport clever designs. Their jackets always
have unique designs to represent their vocation.

“I’m getting a jacket to support the automotive
cla.ss and GCHS.” — Randy Christy

“We got jackets for Industrial Technology to sup-
port the VICA club. Some jackets were hand
designed. They all turned out really good.” — Tim-
othy Shelton

No matter where the idea to get jackets came
from the students wear their jackets with pride.

LOVE ALL-SERVE ALL

One of the most popular tee-shirts and sweatshirts worn by Granite City students have Hard Rock
Cafe written on the front. There isn’t a day that goes by-warm or cold-when you don’t see one of these
shirts proudly sported bv the students.

The original Hard Rock Cafe was created on June 14, 1971, in London by Isaac Tigrett of Jackson,
Tennessee. He, along with his partners, felt that European people should be able to sample the best
of American cooking — the best down home, good meals at reasonable prices.

Today there are 103 cafes around the world, including 34 in the United States. These U.S. cafes are
located in Aspen, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Hon-
olulu, Houston, Kona, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Maui, Memphis, Miami, Myrtle Beach, Nashville, New-
port Beach, New Orleans, New York, Niagara Falls, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Sacramento, Salt
Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, University City, and Washington, D.C.

A recent addition to the franchise is the Hard Rock Cafe in St. Louis, which opened on August 24,
1998. It’s location in the parking lot of Union Station makes it an ideal tourist attraction.

These restaurants represent what People Magazine called “The Smithsonian on Rock ’n Roll. They
have one of the largest collections of authentic rock musical memorabilia, which rotates from restau-
rant to restaurant.

Along with good food served in a gracious way, the Hard Rock Cafe strives to offer a simple message
with every meal: Love all-Serve all.

THE NEW ZOO

The Saint Louis Zoo is one of the few free admission places in St. Louis. The new Emerson Electric Chil-
dren’s Zoo was under renovation in early 1998, but on May 16 it was finally open to the public. The new- chil-
dren’s zoo was named in honor of Emerson Electric, who gave three million dollars, the largest amount
sponsored for the project. The new zoo offers a wide variety of animals and has expanded tt) a three and a
half acre exhibit. The original children’s zoo was built in 1969 and was sea.sonal, but the new children’s zoo
is open year-round.

For the first time at the Saint Louis Zoo, visitors can now see the ever-popular koalas. Aartis the aardvark
is also a new arrival. Aartis is very' special because there hasn’t been an aardvark in the St. Louis Zoo since
the 1930’s. Aartis also gets to walk around the park greeting guests as they come in and is very well-adapt-
ed to its leash. Another unique feature of the Children’s Zoo is the acrylic see-through chute that passes
through the otter pool. As the river otters swim through the water you can watch them as you slide down
the chute.

Another new attraction is the “Just Like Me” play area where children can imitate their favorite animal
friends. Kids can climb on a giant spider web, swing on vines like monkeys, or dig in the sandbox like an
aardvark. Also, there is a Nations Bank Amphitheater with live animal shows, presentations, puppet shows,
storvtelling hours, and animal demonstrations.

The same animals are still on display at the children’s zoo, but they now have new friends. You can still
see rabbits, turtles, and armadillos. But now the Saint Louis Zoo is a little more fun for the entire family.

If you have some free time, take a trip to the children’s zoo. You’ll be surprised at the changes.

GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT

On Thursday, November 19, 1998, millions of smokers, young and old, were encouraged to quit
smoking. The name of this day is called the Great American Smokeout. The number of people who
start smoking is increasing at an alarming rate, especially among teenagers. Smoking is up 28%
since 1993 and the increase is mainly on teen smokers.

There have been many attempts to keep smoking from looking attractive, but few have had good
results. One of these recent attempts was a settlement reached on November 16 that bans tobac-
co companies from using cartoons to market their product as well as from advertising on bill-
boards, T-shirts, and at team sporting events.

While the number of teen smokers is on the increase, there are several GCHS seniors that do not
smoke and are proud to say so. When asked why she does not smoke, Leah Gamblin said, “It’s gross,
stinky, and everything else that makes a person look bad.” Scott Sarich states, “It smells bad, and
is too expensive.” “I want to be able to breathe normally,” says Anthony Guithues. “Smoking is the
most unattractive thing I can think of It stinks,” says Shannon Cuvar.

While smoking does smell bad and is very expensive, the most devastating effect of smoking is
that it may cause lung cancer, heart disease, and birth defects. It is the number one leading pre-
ventable disease. These warnings are on every pack of cigarettes and every cigarette ad. People are
asked to take the warnings more seriously, but that is not always the case.

If you smoke and wish to quit, a good time to stop the habit might be the next Great American
Smokeout ... or maybe tomorrow.

It might make you laugh. It might make you cry. Or it
might make you feel ju.st plain good. There’s .something

While the Emmy awards shows us that television pro-
grams such as “Fraiser", “The Practice”, and “The I-ate

are several seniors who have different favorites.

“My favorite show is definitely ‘Mystery Science Theater

WHO’S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL?

Have you ever walked in the hallway glancing at the students passing by and thought you saw someone just a sec-
ond ago? Is it deja-vu? Is it a human clone? Is it just your imagination? The answer is ’none of the above’.

The correct answer is that you’ve just come in contact with a twin. Did you ever wonder what it would be like to have
someone look exactly like you? Would it be fun? Would it cause you a problem or be a problem for everyone else?

Five sets of twins in the senior cla.ss know the answers to all these questions. They are Jeffrey & John Ahlers, Kim-
berly & Kenneth Cuvar, Catherine & Sara DeCourcy, Donald & Donna Moseley, and Christine & Dimana Spudich.

They have been with each other since conception and will always remain close to each other throughout their lives.
They’ve played childhood games together, told each other secrets, went shopping side by side, shared homework
assignments, and have always been there to share decisions. It seemed just like yesterday when their biggest problem
was trying to color within the lines. Now they have to decide what college to attend or what job application to fill out.

They’ve shared good times and bad, but somehow managed to survive. When they look hack on their high school
days, they will definitely remember all the things they did with their ’best buddy'.

They have shared some of their rea.sons why they enjoy being a twin.

“We get to share a couple of cla.sses and that means less homework for the both of us.” — Kenny Cuvar
“Being a twin is all right. 1 really don’t feel like a twin all that much, just on our birthday. 1 think there are good points
about being a twin, and then, of course, there are bad points.” — Donna Mo.seley

“I love being a twin and having a sister that is so much like me. She knows everything about me. 1 don’t know what
I would do without her. Being a twin is definitely a positive experience for both of us.” — Dimana Spudich
“It’s less expensive being a twin because we can share most of our clothes.” — Sara DeCourcy
“Being a twin is a great experience. We both know we’re there for each other, we never argue, and we always help
each other. A twin is more than a friend or a sister .. it’s something very different, and there’re not many people who
can say they know the feeling.” — Christine Spudich

“Being a twin is great. When we go shopping, we comment on each other’s clothes before we buy them. That way
we don’t buy anything that makes us look bad.” — Catherine DeCourcy

Twins are special people. They share their feelings, private .secrets, and identity. They are mirror images of each
other. But, will we ever know, who’s the fairest of them all?

THE PROFESSIONALS

This year an old familiar spK)n has made a remarkable come-
back. Professional wrestling is fast becoming one of the most
successful entertainment industries. Wrestling shirts, back-
packs, toys, beddings, pins, and lunch boxes are just some of
the highly profitable merchandise wrestling fans are snatching
up.

Two of the most popular groups are WVtT (World Wrestling
Federation), and, WCW, (World Championship Wrestling).
From these two groups emerge various names on ly a wrestling
fan could love or understand. These favorites include Stone
Cold Steve Austin, Undenaker, Kane Ix;gion of Doom, Rock,
Warrior, Hollywotxl Hogan, (formerly known as Hulk Hogan)
Sting, Triple H, Road Dog Jesse James, Bad Billy Gun, X-Pac,
China, and the Edge.

“I’ve been watching wrestling since I was a little kid. It’s like
a soap opera for guys.” — Lonnie Slone

“It’s so funny and fake. I have to be in the crowd with every-
one else.” — Sean Kuehnel

“I find professional w restling to be one of the most beauti-

ful dramatic soap operas on television today. Guiding Light, eat
your heart out.” — Colin Anderson

“I watch wrestling because of the great athletes and the story
line that goes along with it.” — David Margrabe

“I happen to like wrestling because I think wrestlers are very

Will all this wrestling mania reduce the popularity of football
every Monday night? Maybe so. WWF has two hours of wrestling
viewing on the USA network. The first hour is “Raw Is War” and
“War Zone” finishes up the two hour slot.

WCW on the TNT network has three straight hours of Monday
Nitro, What more could a true devoted wrestling fan want?

There’s definitely a shake up in the entertainment industry.
Ftxttball and soap operas should be very concerned, because pro-
fessional wrestling is “in your house.”

THE MONEY GAME

Anybody have change for a $20? When some people saw the new $20-dollar bill, they raised their
eyebrows, and thought, it was just play money. The design for the new $20 is similar to the $50 bill,
which came out in 1997, and $100 bill, which came out in 1996. About $88 billion in $20 dollar bills
are in circulation, and 80 percent of that is here in the United States.

The $20 dollar bill is the most counterfeited bill in the United States, giving the government the
idea for the necessary change. The new bill features an oversized and off-centered picture of
Andrew Johnson. The bill itself, however, is the same size as the old $20-dollar bill.

The biggest problem for counterfeiters will be the new color-shifting ink that appears on the
front in the lower right corner. The trick is that the ink looks green when seen straight-on, but the
ink looks black when seen from an angle.

The second biggest problem is Andrew Jackson’s picture is embedded as a watermark in the
paper. If it is copied, the watermark won’t show up on the copy. This poses a problem for the aver-
age counterfeiter. Also, the back of the bill used to show the south side of the White House.

Whether or not you pay any attention to the new $20-dollar bill, it is certain that you will meet
up with it one day. As they start to circulate, be ready to see the new twenties more and more. Even-
tually the old bills will disappear. And as for the counterfeiters, life just got a little tougher.

PERMANENT IMPRESSIONS

The burly pot-bellied, black bearded pirate captain swaggered into the dark, smoke-filled room.
As he reached for his drink, his drinking cronies’ eyes were directed to his muscular arms. What
captured their attention? Could it be his bulging Mark McGwire biceps? His broad shoulders? No.
Their eyes were caught by the brightly-colored artwork tattooed across his rippling muscles.

Does a desire to project a macho image inspire students to get tattooed? Do they really know
what they are doing? Did someone talk them into the permanent inscription into their flesh. Who
knows?

Tattooing requires significant amount of time, and it can be quite expensive. Prices range from
approximately $25.00 to anywhere in the hundreds. Sometimes it takes more time to choose the
design than to put it on. After the design has been selected, the tattooer draws an outline of the
design on the skin of the person about to be tattooed. The tattooer then traces the outline with an
electric needle which shoots colored ink under the skin.

“I have a small tattoo of a rose on my right ankle. I picked the rose because my mother has one
and I always have liked roses.” — Donna Schlake

“I got my tattoos because it is my personality. It expresses how I really am.” — Brianna Hacke

None of the tattooed seniors expressed any regret at having permanently decorated portions of
their anatomy. Opinions of parents, girlfriends, or boyfriends concerning the elaborate designs
were less enthusiastic, however.

Many of the tattooed seniors said the tattoo’ surprised’ their family and friends, but they are ’get-
ting used to it now.’ Many also .said, ’I might even get another one.’

FIGHTING THE BULGE BATTLE

Fighting the ’bulge battle’ is a common hobby of
many students throughout the school year. Even
though there are various diet programs or plans, some
students choose to make their own weight-loss plan.

Skipping breakfast, a diet stxia for lunch and a small
dinner in the evening is one that many of the students
find ideal to shed those extra pounds. For about a week,
will power seems to be theirbest friend. But as they walk
through the house and notice that creamy chocolate
cake sitting before them, their will power vanishes as
they sink their teeth into that calorie-filled cake. There
must be an easier and healthier way to do this.

“1 don’t have the time, I don’t want to.” — Steve Kirk-
patrick

“I don’t like breakfast because I’m not hungr\- and 1
have food class 3rd hour.” — Julia Murphy

Health spas containing .saunas and body-building
equipment is becoming a very popular way to exchange
fat for mu.scle. Instead of not eating properly, students
are learning to get their bodies moving. Aerobic cla.s.ses
are filling up with people of all ages wanting to increa.se
their heartbeat. They find it a better way than fad diets
to obtain a gcK)d body.

Jogging is also becoming a fad. Some students are
obse.s.sed with the idea of running. They are purchasing
running gear to make them.selves a fashion statement as
they run around Wilson Park.

“During my basketball season I jog to keep myself in
perfect running condition.” — Jan Shanafelt

1 jog to try and stay in shape for the spons I play.” —
Craig M(K)shegian

Richard Simmons is now a household name and pop-
ular talk show gue.st as he tells everyone to pump up the
volume’. People are putting away their dress shoes and
exchanging them for sneakers as they bike or walk their
way to their work destinations.

“1 watch Richard Simmons because I like .sweating to
the oldies.” — Adam Schillinger

“I think he’s funny and 1 al.so burn calories while I’m
laughing at him.” — Chris Singleton
Students are beginning to take a long kxik in the mir-
ror and decide to exchange that hamburger for a salad.
Health awareness is becoming the Number one priori-
ty. It has been a decade loaded with new ideas, fashions,
and new health.

JUBILATION - CELEBRATION - INSPIRATION

On September 7, 1998, at 1:22 pm, Mark McGwire launched his 61st homerun, tying Roger Maris’ 37-year record
for most homeruns in one season. Over 50,000 fans looked on as McGwire belted one of the most historic home-
runs ever hit in the game of baseball.

McGwire hit No. 61 off the window of the stadium club in left field on Mike Morgan’s 1-1 slider in the first inning.
It fell into Section 281. The only question when the ball left the bat was whether it would be a foul or stay fair. It
stayed fair at 430 feet to set off a celebration that even Chicago Cubs players joined.

As he rounded first base. Cubs first baseman Mark Grace congratulated him with an arm bash. As he approached
third base, Gary Gaetti, McGwire’s former teammate gave him a handshake. On his way to the third-base line, he
pointed to the sky and “To the Man Upstairs.” When he got to the plate, he was greeted by teammate Ray Unkford.
And then he saw his son.

Matthew McGwire, 10, was not able to be in St. Louis at the beginning of the game, and barely made it there 45
minutes before the first pitch.

Moments later, Sammy Sosa left his spot in right field and walked over to McGwire. Both hugged with over-
whelming affection.

McGwire then went to the field box seats close to the Cardinal dugout, found Roger Maris’ four sons and one
daughter, and embraced all of them at once.

In an instance, he disappeared into the dugout. He came back out holding a microphone, waved to a crowd of
49,987 fans and said, “I dedicate this home run to the whole city of St. Louis and all the fans here. Thank you for all
your support.”

This home run will likely be remembered as one of the greatest moments in St. Louis history. No other athletic-
moment and none of the city’s most talented athletes have created such an impact.

In 1997, Mark McGwire belonged to the Oakland Athletics; in August 1998 he came to the Cardinals; now he
belongs to all of baseball.

MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Asenior boy stares blankly into his locker covered with photos and cluttered with books and notebooks. Stand-
ing under a poster which reads “Every day of scht)ol is a day closer to summer vacation.” He imagines him.self sit-
ting on the beaches of Cancun. This boy, as do many other senior boys and girls, express their individuality and
creativity by decorating the inside of their locker.

The creative image was cut in half this year because the lockers were reduced in size. Everyone’s locker is half
the size of last years space, but now at least every student is assigned an individual locker. The contents are left
to the imagination of each student.

Greeting cards, posters, Disney decor, personal photographs, and stuffed animals are some of the items
.seniors use to spiff up their locker and create their own personal niches at GCHS. “1 decorated my locker with
good luck signs, my volleyball schedule, and my definition of teamwork,” said Jessica Huniak.

Memo pads and calenders are also popular locker items. This is a unique way to remind the locker owner of
upcoming events and important meetings. Jori Keener states, “1 only use my locker calendar to look at the Win-
nie the Pooh pictures.”

What locker would be complete without a mirror? There’s always time for a quick stop to check a hair style or
put some finishing touches on that perfect lipstick. “1 usually use my mirror after lunch to make sure I don’t have
food in my teeth or on my face,” says Stephanie Ambuehl.

Then there’s that annual locker clean out. This is the time to throw away all the trash, the excess,and the junk
that is accumulating in your locker. Seniors didn’t usually take the time to clean out their lockers throughout
the school year; there’s more things to do. But now the clean out day is here. When asked about the locker
cleanout, Justin Brinkmeyer .said, “1 rarely clean my locker but because 1 hardly ever use it.”

Now it’s time for the school year to end. It’s time for you say good-bye to that little metal box you ve called your
friend for nine months. It’s time to move on and let someone else have this little space. It s time for another stu-
dent to take over your spot and make it his home.

CURL UP WITH A GOOD BOOK

Books ... Books ... Books. It seems that reading daily assignments dominates the lives of most .seniors from .Monday
through Friday. The mandatory reading sometimes carries over into the weekend when there is a big exam to study for or
an important paper to complete.

Still, students find time for some outside reading or enjoyment. Many enjoy reading a good book for fun.

“1 enjoy reading Stephen King. 1 love his writing style and 1 just can not pass up one of his great .scar>' stories.” — Nealie
Ingram

“1 can’t really stand reading, but when 1 have to, it has to be a good horror story because they are the best.” — Kelly Biver

As students progress from their freshman year to being a senior, they are assigned various bcKiks to read. Many of the.se
books are considered ‘cla.ssics’ with hundreds of pages between the covers. Once given the book, it is anyone’s guess when
they will get to the last page. Even though some seniors wanted to forget .some of their readings, the a.ssignments ended up
to be novels they enjoyed and would recommend to their friends.

“The one book 1 had to read in school that I really loved was Brave New VC'orld by Aldaus Huxley. It is very' realistic, which
is frightening in our rapid changing world.” — Cheyenne Modglin

“ In Cold Blood is one of my favorite books that 1 have read, even though 1 read it for a reading class. ” — Crystle Bierschwal.

“1 am not big on reading, but the one book I enjoyed very much was the Grapes of Wrath . It is a wonderful de.scription of
life in the 1930’s.” — Theresa Wil.son.

When school is out for the holidays, television, movies, and other recreational activities leave little time for reading. Some
.seniors, however, manage to read a good book over Christmas or Easter vacation.

“My favorite author is John Grisham becau.se his stories are .so intriguing. They always keep me wanting to turn the next
page.” — Blake Smith.

“I like to read Stephen King’s books, becau.se he has some good reading books.” — Matthew Dodd

“War books are always interesting. 1 always enjoy reading about what happened in history and try' to imagine what will
happen in the future.” — Ronald Shafer

So in the era of television and every variety of video movie, high school .seniors still believe in reading.

THE JANUARY CLASS OF 1999

Some of the students at Granite City High School are given the option to graduate one semester early.
Due to their hard work and effort in completing all their required courses, these students are rewarded by

JUNIOR ACADEMIC

LIFE WITH TONY

Beginning journalism at GCHS teaches the
students how the media, especially the news-
paper, relays a message to the public. In addi-
tion to learning journalistic techniques, the stu-
dents are taught how to apply these techniques
to daily living in a practical way.

Many students take the class because they
have an interest in journalism. Others take it
because it is different from other English class-
es, and they may want to pursue some form of
journalism as a career.

Antonio Betancourt teaches his students the
proper way to write articles, headlines,
improve their grammar, and plan page layouts.
The students usually agree they do not mind all
the hard work because they enjoy expressing
themselves in their well-written articles.

After completing beginning journalism,
.some students further their experience and
continue into the advanced course. Both cours-
es offer a g(X)d background to anyone who has
an interest in creative writing. It proves to be a
good experience for students no matter what
profession they choose.

130 PHYSICS

PHYSICS

POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES

Mr. Lobclell, Mr. Lobdell, I don't understand the question. If you have ever been in Allen Lobdell's physics class,
you wt)uld have heard this statement.

Physics is the study of the interaction of matter and energy. Students who take physics at GCHS learn why objects
move the way they do. It is an interesting class giving the students an opportunity to learn about gravity, centripetal
forces, static electricity, and various types of wave movements.

As many of Mr. Lobdells students discover, physics can al.so be a difficult class at times. The contents vary' and stu-
dents find some chapters easier than others. Since physics deals with mathematics, a calculator is also a must.

Although physics is not a required class, students who choose to take it as an elec tive always shew great interest in
their studies. One of the be.st things that can happen to you in physics is the knowledge you take with you after com-
pleting the cla.ss. You will also walk out of the class in a better frame of mind because of Mr. Lcibclell s great sense of
humor.

Mr. Lobdell teaches four physics classes throughout the day, consisting mainly of juniors. There are, however,
some seniors whc 5 choose to experience the adventure waiting for them as they enter through his door.

Mr. Lobdell enjoys teaching and has taught the physics clas.ses at GCHS for 12 years. He sum.s it all up by express-
ing, “I'm one of the luckiest guys on the face of the Earth ... great students, great subject to teach, and great toys.”

AMERICAN HISTORY

JUNIOR ACADEMICS

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

What happened on November 22, 1963? What is the Emancipation Proclamation? When was Pearl Harbor
bombed? Who was the seventh president of the United States? These are just a few questions that all stu-
dents will learn in American History class.

American History is just one of the many required classes students must take and pass in order to grad-
uate from GCHS. Despite all the long hours of studying and all the information that has to be memorized
for tests, students do find it to be a good class.

Teachers for American History classes are Kim Lignoul, Harold Briggs, Dawn Hamm, Don Harris, Gary
Kasprovich and Randy Burgess. To keep the cla.s.ses interesting, teachers pre.sent information in a number
of different forms, rather than teaching strictly from the textbooks. Students get chances to u.se maps, do
creative projects, and in some cases, are required to write a term paper.

American History teacher Mr. Don Harris enjoys teaching his American History classes and has taught
them for ten years. He .says, “The students keep me young. It is also very rewarding to play a small part in
America’s future. 1 teach History, but I hope to be making a difference in our future.

American History I consists of learning about our native American ancestors, studying our founding fore-
fathers, discovering how the 13 ctilonies were built, how America gained its independence, and also cov-
ering three major wars; Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War I.

In American History 2, students learn about World War II, the Korean War, segregation, the space race,
the Vietnamese War, Watergate affair, the Gulf War, and about modern times.

History is the past, and it is happening now. All students should know and respect the History of our great
country. Also the answers to the above questions are; President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot in Dal-
las, Texas, a proclamation that freed the slaves, December 7, 19^1 and Andrewjackson.

TICKET TO RIDE

Everybtxly thinks about it. From the
moment you enter Driver Safety until the
moment you get your license, all of your
thoughts are dedicated to one subject, your
first car. Without it, your license is just a piece
of paper. But once you have gotten your first
car, you hold the power to go almost anywhere
you want without your parents. .Most students
really do not care what type of car their parents
buy them. Old or new, red or black, car or
truck, it does not matter. Anything with four
wheels and an engine will suit the new drivers
perfectly fine.

Of course most students will jockey for the
best car they can get their hands on It is one of
the great missions of your teenage life to try
and get a spectacular sfxjns car or brand new

truck from your parents. .Many teenagers
start the negotiations off high. They will ask
for a 1 998 Dodge Viper only to get a reply of
laughter from their mom and dad. Usually,
students end up getting an older car and
the great responsibility of making it IcKik
new. It is also common to get an older sib-
ling'scar. But every so often, a kid lucks out
and gets the exact car he wanted.

Many different cars fill the parking lots at
GCHS. There is a wide variety of opinions
on what type of car or truck is the ctKilest.
.Most are plea.sed with thecar they received,
but .some think that they de.serve better.
When students were asked about their first
cars they gave these replies:

“My iW7 Mustang convertible is the

greatest car on earth.” — I.ind.say Heath

“.My first car was a Hyundai Excel." — Emily
Douglas

“1 like my 1992 Shadow. It gets me around."
— Justin Jones

".My car is a 1993 Ford Ranger 4x4. It's com-
fortable and it fits me. It has an eight-foot bed
that never has to be made.” — BobbyJ. Hicks
“I have a GMC Jimmy. 1 like it because of its
awesome wheels." — .Matthewjackson.

"1 like my Cavalier becau.se of the color. Also
it is a 1996, so it is pretty new." — James Greer
“I love my 196S Chevrolet Impala lx;cau.se it
is a cla.ssic. The car is one of a kind." — Timo-
thy Dawes

WELCOME TO THE FOOD ZONE

Mexican. Italian. Chinese, and American are all
kinds of restaurants found in Granite City and the
surrounding areas While .some students prefer the
big. fat juicy hamburger, others take out a set of
chop.sticks and indulge in .some Chine.se ftKxi.

Some of the restaurants students chose as their
favorites are the Spaghetti factory. Olive Garden.
Pasta House. Bonanza. Red Lobster. Shoney's Out-
back Steak House. TGI Friday's. Applebee's. Houli-
han's. St. Iz>uis Bread Company. Ponderosa.

Not everyone likes to eat at the major franchise
restaurants. Stime students prefer little places with
little prices. Not only do these fast ftxxi places have
a smaller price tag. but they are al.so easier to get in
and out of when time is of the essence.

Top on the list of choices are .McDonald's. Other
favorites included VChite castle. Hardee s. Burger
King. Rally's, Steak n' Shake. Wendy's. Taco Bell.
Long John Silver's Piz.za Hut. Imo's, Fazoli's, Sub-
way. Blimpie's. and Arby's.

Upon entering these establishments, your nose
encounters the aroma of freshly c(K)ked hamburg-

ers and cheeseburgers, and your ears recognize
the familiar sizzle of french fries as they c<M)k to
a golden brown crispness. This is the typical stu-
dents reaction when entering McDonald's.

The convenience of the fast RkkI restaurants is
just t(K) much for teenagers to ignore. When
they're in a hurry, that's the place to dine. When
mom's dinner is going to take a few more hours
to c<x)k. journey out to a fast-f<xxj establish-
ment. .Make a quick trip to Burger King or Hard-
ee's and you can have en entire meal for a rather
low price.

There is a huge variety of fast fixxl restaurants
these days and no two of them are the same. Kach
one has its loyal customers, always ready to get
their favorite sandwich or tr\’ the new item on the
menu. When the students at GCHS were asked
which fast fixxJ place they liked best, they were
quick tosuppon their favorite restaurant. Some,
however, selected the full-.service restaurants as
their favorites.

"My favorite restaurant is McDonald's because

you can get 39-cenl cheeseburgers every 'X'ednes-
day." — Jamie Gavilsky

"Jack in the Box is my favorite restaurant. I like
their tacos and you can get two for 99-cents '
Bobby Grammer

"I like l.amb's Garden becau.se of the fortune
cixikies ' ^James Herendeen

"Burger King is my favorite because I can get
onion rings or fries with my meal. " — .Sarah Kelly
My favorite fixxl is oysters from the Atlaniii (Xean
with just a little dash of basil to adtl some zest" —
David Svezia

"Our favorite fixxl is Doritos and bean dip. " —
.Marla VanSickle and Krystal Turnbough
"I like french fries " Rachel Whiteheatl
".My favorite fixxl is spaghetti it's the stuff. " —
John Slordahl

"1 have .so many favorites. They include Old Coun-
try Buffet anil Taco Bell. The fixxis I like Ix’st are hot
and spicy." — Alicia .Mosby

"Steak n" Shake has the best steakburgers 1 also
like Kentucky Frieil Chicken." — Matthew Dixlil

STRESSFUL SITUATIONS

You lcx)kat the clock. How can it possible be
2 A.M. already. You grab another jolt, taking a
big gulp hoping to rejuvenate your weak
sleepy body.

You strain your eyes trying to ftKus on the
keyboard and find the correct key. Is that a z or
an s? The realization of not taking a keyboard-
ing cla.ss during your freshmen or sophomore
year finally sinks in. Typing is so slow when you
don't know where the letters are kxated.

The radio is playing .some loud music from
the 70's in an attempt to keep you awake. You
wonder why you waited .so late to begin this
assigned term paiier, but you know you are a
true prtK'rastinator. You know the next time
you have a typed paper due. you'll be in the
same exact situation, becau.se that's your
nature.

The word term paper' .sometimes make
teenagers crings. It means research, hard
work, long hours, and plenty of corrections

until it is (lerfect. It means STRE.SS.

A few juniors were asked what makes
their life at .school stressful. These are the
resptinses:

i stress out all the time about my friends
becau.se I fearthat they'll do .somethingstu-
pid. To handle my stre.ss 1 like to go for long
rides in my car alone." — Chrissy Valencia
“I stress about schtx)! becau.se the teach-
ers give tcx) much homework and too many
tests.” — Kevin Carroll

Tm stressed becau.se I don't have
enough time to work and do my home-
work." — Dacia Blackwell

“Term papers stress me out. because I
like to lx.- perfect." — Kmily Wonhen
“Crowded hallways can be stressful." —
Nathan U'hite

“The long lines and the crowded lunch
times." — .Michelle Cortiell

"It can be stressful following someone

who walks slowly in the hall and you are in a
hurry." -Charlene Barnett

“Four weeks into the nine weeks, low and
failure notices are sent to parents. This can be
a stressful time." — John .Mixsre
“Final exam time is always stressful." — Der-
ick Hays

“Car insurance means stress. Then I have to
do homework when I get off work. It never
ends." — Stanley Gonzalez

“1 have a daughter, and that is very stressful
at this time. Since 1 have a little girl, it's difficult
to find a job." — Natasha Kite

“I stress abttut making gtxxl grades and giv-
ing a gtxxl performance in the schtxil plays.” -
Camille Fensterman

“1 always want to get my school work fin-
ished. and that can be stressful.” — Jennifer

A VARIETY OF FRIENDS

Your high schcxjl years can be your happiest
and most memorable. Being with your friends
plays a major part in achieving this happiness.

vi^en remembering your high schtxrl years,
you remember homework, the cafeteria, your
locker, sporting events, but most of all,
friends. They’re always there to help.

There are classmates you see everyday.
These friends might help you with homework
or answer some important questions for you.
They also make your class more enjoyable.

There are friends you walk to class with, and
friends to whom you confide your deeptest
secrets. There are also groups of friends who
go to school activities with you. You know
when you gather with these friends, a gtxtd
time will follow.

Which ever way you choose to spend
time with your friends, the memories that
are made will be remembered for many
years to come. When some members of the
junior cla.ss were asked about their best
friends, this is what they had to say:

“My best friend is Elizabeth R(x>ney
because I have known her forever and no
matter what happens,we’ve always been
friends.” — April Jordan

“My friends are the greatest. We have
many things in common. I can trust them
with anything, and we have so much fun
together.” — Amber Hopper
“Deeane Stern is my lx;st friend because
she is funny and a blast to be around.” —
Jaimie Slattery

“My best friend and 1 go way back to the old
school days. He’s my boy.” — Matt Salz.man

“Stephanie Jovi and I have known each
other forever and we are exactly alike." —
Mandy Barunica

“My best friend accepts me for who 1 am.” —
Sarah Kuhn

“My best friends are always there for me.
They listen to what I have to say and give me
gtx)d advice.” Nicole Brown

“My best friends are ccxtl to be around.”
Gavin Gann

“I’d like to thank my varsity coach and gtxtd
friend, Mr. VanBuskirk, for helping me in the
gexxl time and bad time throughout my junior
year in high school.” — Tarrick l,awrence

SCARY SITUATIONS

Driving a car is an experience that is long awaited by many stu-
dents. Having a license is a symbol of freedom. However, along with
that newly found freedom comes that little emotion called 'fear'.

Getting into an accident is probably the No. 1 fear of the newly
licensed driver. The consequences accompany an accident are great
causes for concern. Having a permanent mark on your record at an
early age of 16 can be devastating.

“Getting in your first car wreck within two months of having a
licen.se was not much fun, especially when the guy you hit started
yelling at you,” .said Amber H)fink.

Being on the highway for the first time may also be a .scary situa-
tion. Learning to drive the speed limit is nerve racking when you've
only driven in parking lots and back streets.

“The big trucks on the highway are .scary,” stated 1-auren Miller.

“A month after I got my licen.se I went to the Galleria. I was .so
scared on the highways becau.se the big trucks were ztntming all
around me,” .said Ca.ssie Williams.

Running out of ga.soline in an unfamiliar place also ranks highly
among the fears of most student drivers. Cellular telephones have
helped students call for assistance during this unpredictable situa-
tion, but what about those students who do not own a phone. "Hav-
ing a cellular phone is great. It is convenient and ea.sy to u.se. It's pret-
ty c<k)I t(H),” said Kugenia Isreal.

What hap[x;n.s when you leave your keys in the car and ItK'k it? Do
you call home or is there a spare hidden somewhere on the exterior
of your automobile?

Another worry is learning how to park properly. Parking is an
extremely difficult maneuver to master fi>r a beginning driver.

“Obviously, neither one of us learned how to park becau.se we
have both run into medians and parked cars," stated Tim Kosuge and
Scott Schardan.

While driving is fun, it comes with a great deal of responsibility and
stress. Always be careful and do as you were always told — watch out
for the other guy.

SEVEN VALUABLE MINUTES

The halls are silent with no traffic allowed.
Then it happen.s — the bell rings. The roar of
students flash into the halls as girls and boys
began passing to their next class.

■‘What did you say?", “She said what about
me?”. “1 don’t believe you.”, “Give me a break.”
This is what you hear between classes as you
stroll from one hour to the next. Everyone
begins getting all of the new information and
confirming the old. It’s like a seven minute
soap opera.

Hall talk, everyone does it. Students try to
keep up with the latest go.ssip and pa.ss it on.
They stand by their lockers bicxrking the area
for everyone else to pass. They congregate in a
certain area even if it’s just to say a few words.
They try to get into their lockers, change

books, and continue to talk the entire time.
They punch each other on the shoulderand
.say, "What’s up dude?”

These few minutes help break the rou-
tine of the day. It helps you relax and stretch
you legs a little. >^at if you were not
allowed to talk in the hall. You would not be
able to tell your best friend about that good-
looking boy you just discovered. Everyone
l(X)ks forward to going in the halls to share
their news of the day. It’s just part of going
to schtxil.

When asked what they did between
clas.ses, some of the members of the junior
cla.ss .said:

“My favorite thing to do is go to my lock-
er and talk to my friends.” — Amanda Zaring

“I flirt with the girls.” — Robert Meszaros
“During the seven minutes, I run to my next
class." — Matthew Thomas

“ I talk to my friends and try to stay out of
trouble.” — Gina Denson

“I go to my next class.” — Ernie Hume
“1 stand around for a while, talk to my
friends, and then go to my next class.” — Kim
Ruan

“Between cla.sses, I talk to people and walk
to my next class.” — Brian Madi.son

Students use the .seven minute break for
many different rea.sons. Whether it's to use the
restrcKim, talk to a friend or just hang around
the lockers, the seven minutes can be a life-
saver.

GO CRAZY FOLKS, GO CRAZY

With over-flowing crowds of over 3,195,000 fans throughout the
Cardinal baseball season, Busch Memorial Stadium was constantly
aglow with Cardinal red. The enthusiastic people who attended the
games rocked the stadium with cheers and whistles during the 81
games.

The record-setting home run No. 62 was a goal for every- baseball
fan. Roger Maris’ record stood still until 8:18 p.m. on Tuesday, Sep-
tember 8. The Chicago Cubs were winning 2-0 in the fourth inning
when McGwire smashed No. 62 off the pitcher Steve Trachsel’s first
pitch. The ball began to sink as it neared the eight-foot fence in left
field, but made it out of the stadium by less than two feet. It was the
shortest home run of the season. The Cardinals won 6-3-

But the race for home run king between Mark McGwire and Sammy
Sosa continued until the final game. Then on September 2'^, 1998,
McGwire hit No. 70. The people who filled Busch Stadium did exactly
what Jack Buck has always told them to do: “Go Crazy Folks, Go Crazy.”

SEE you AT THE MOVIES

As you look back at the movies made in years past, many stand out in your mind as outstanding accom-
plishments. Films such as Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, Rocky and the Star Wars trilogy are just
a few.

On Tuesday, June 16, 1998, the American Film Institute released their top 100 greatest films. It was
AFT’s 100 years, 100 movies list. The list surprised and amazed many people. Whether the movie was a
comedy, romance, western or horror, it was on the list.

The AFl convened a blue-ribbon panel of more than 1500 knowledgeable leaders in the film industry
to determine America’s 100 Greatest Movies of all Time. All the movies were feature-length fiction films
made in English. The list of the 100 top movies is as follows:

The film voted No. 1 of all time was Citizen Kane; followed by Casablanca, The Godfather, Gone With
The Wind, I^wrence of Arabia, The Wizard of Oz, The Graduate, On The Waterfront, Schlinder’s List
and the No. 10 slot went to Singin’ In The Rain.

Number 1 1 went to It’s a Wonderful Life, followed by Sunset Boulevard, The Bridge On The River
Kwai, Some Like It Hot, Star Wars, All About Eve, The African Queen, P.sycho, Chinatown, and No. 20
was One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.

Number 2 1 was the Grapes ofWrath, 2001 :A Space Odyssey, The Maltese Falcon, Raging Bull, E.T. The
Extra Terrestrial, Dr. Strangelove, Bonnie & Clyde, Apocalypse Now, Mr. Smith goes To Washington, and
No. 30 was Treasure Of The Sierra Madre.

Number 31 went to Annie Hall, The Godfather Part II, High Noon, To Kill A Mockingbird, It Happened
One Night, Midnight Cowboy, The Best Years Of Our Lives, Double Indemnity, Doctor Zhivago, and No.
40 was North By Northwest.

Number 4 1 was West Side Story, Rear Window, King Kong, The Birth Of A Nation, A Streetcar Named
Desire, A Clockwork Orange, Taxi Driver, Jaws, Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, and No. 50 was Butch
Cassidy & The Sundance Kid.

Number 51 went to The Philadelphia Story, From Here To Eternity, Amadeus, All Quiet On The West-
ern Front, The Sound Of Music, M^A^S^H, The Third Man, Fantasia, Rebel Without A Cause, and No.
60 was Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Number 61 was Vertigo, Tootsie, Stagecoach, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, The Silence Of
The Lambs, Network, The Manchurian Candidate, An American In Paris, Shane, and No. 70 was The
French Connection

Number 71 went to Forrest Gump, Ben-Hur, Wuthering Heights, The Gold Rush, Dances With Wolves,
City Lights, American Graffiti, Rocky, The Deer Hunter, and No. 80 was The Wild Bunch.

Number 81 was Modern Times, Giant, Platoon, Fargo, Duck Soup, Mutiny On The Bounty, Franken-
stein, Easy Rider, Patton, and No. 90 was The Jazz Singer.

Number 91 went to My Fair I^dy, A Place In The Sun, The Apartment, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, The
Searchers, Bringing Up Baby, Unforgiven, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, and No. 100 spot was Yan-
kee Doodle Dandy.

Since the list was published, many movies have come out to be among viewer favorites. The spell-
binding Titanic was released to movie theatres everywhere. Titanic took the world by storm grossing
more money than Star Wars to become the No. 1 money making movie of all time.

Star Ships, Star Wars, Lost in Space, and Asteroids were big science-fiction hits, with Armaggedon fol-
lowing close behind. The No. 1 war movie of our time. Saving Private Ryan, proved to be a blockbuster.
This was one of the most realistic World War II movies ever put on film.

How many of these movies have you seen? Are you familiar with most of them? Did your favorite
movie make the list? If the answer is ’no’ to the last two questions, take some time out of your busy life,
relax, and rent some of these all-time favorites. Maybe you’ll understand why they were selected as the
Top 100 movies of all time. ..or maybe you won’t.

DRIVING UP A STORM

When students begin to approach the age of sixteen, there is only one thing on their mind, getting their
license. This is the time when students begin drivers safety, followed by drivers training. These classes teach
students about the rules of the road and helps them gain valuable practice and experience behind the
wheel.

The courses last one semester, with the first nine weeks devoted to driver safety. Here the students learn
the facts about driving. In the cla.ssroom, students are taught all they need to know about driving a car, the
laws of the road, and other necessary knowledge they must know before going out on the road. If the stu-
dent finishes the class with a good grade and good driving knowledge, they will move on to driver training
the second nine weeks.

In driver training, students get to spend quality time behind the wheel. With close observation by one of
the driving teachers, the student is allowed to become familiar driving in different situations. When time
can not be spent in the car, students get practice in the ever popular simulators. These machines help the
students improve their skills when they cannot be out on the road.

The teachers for driver safety and driver training are department head Gary Storm, Tom Blaha, Bruce
Frank, Greg Garland, Mike Garland, and Ruth Uyton. Under the careful guidance of these teachers, the stu-
dents have a wonderful chance to blossom into great drivers.

Most of the students agree that the.se two cla.sses are some of their favorites. Mary Lofink .says, “Mr. Frank
did a good job teaching us. We all enjoyed his class.”

LEARNING COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Oral communication is the key to all human interaction. It is what makes people so unique.

Taught by Department Head Ronald Pennell, Mary Bright, and Beverley Scroggins, oral com-
munication is a w'ay for students to learn how to stand up and speak in front of an audience. A
required class, filled mostly by sophomores, this class teaches students to communicate their feel-
ings through words as well as body language. Several speeches are required which include a
demonstration speech, narrative, and informative speech. Students are also required to put
together a radio show, consisting of words, music, commercials, and anything else that is typical
to radio.

Special care is taken with one-to-one communication. Skills are also taught in various types of
communication such as persuasion, demonstration, narration.

For students who are afraid to speak in front of an audience, oral communication is a sure way
to bring you out of your shell. Where else do you have an opportunity to talk in front of approxi-
mately 30 people knowing they have to listen to you and cannot leave?

A RING OF TRADITION

Class rings are an important tradition at this high school.
They symbolize pride in the school, one’s own character, and
a remembrance of your high school years. Buying a cla.ss ring
is not only just a tradition, but it shows that students are glad
to be part of GCHS.

To help fit their personality, students can decide from dif-
ferent designs and colors for their ring. Some students have
their signature engraved on the ring to make it very personal.
Others symbolizes the sport they participated in while attend-
ing high school.

Another choice is deciding on the stone color and its shape.
Some prefer to select their birthstone, while others choose
their favorite color. After selecting the color, the size and
shape are important. Stones may be round, oval or .square. It
all depends on personal preference. No matter what is cho-
sen, it will always remind the student of their memorable high

school days. It becomes their unending circle of high school
memories.

“Something to remember my cla.ss by is my reason for buy-
ing a ring.” — Faith Taylor

“A ring expresses something about yourself.” — Amy Crites

“I want a ring because it is a good thing to remember my
high school experiences.” — Andrew Balcer

“Class rings are cool because it gives you something to
remember all the years you have been here.” — Charles
Knapp

“My preference in class rings would be a blue gem with
crosses around it. That expresses who I am.” — Stacy O’Dell

“They remind me of the good years in high school.” —
Robin Fields

“1 think class rings are cool because it gives you something
to remember the school year by.” — Michael Harp

WHY GO ANYWHERE ELSE?

Stores, Stores, and more stores. Gran-
ite City is getting an increasing number of
new stores added to the area. With cloth-
ing stores, supermarkets, dollar stores,
and movie theaters, why go anywhere
else? Along with the usual Dollar General,
Wal-Man, Big Lots,and shop-N-Save, a few
new additions were added to the G.C. area.

Some of the recently opened retail
stores include the Dollar Tree, Salvation
Army, and Fashion Bug. Johnny Brock’s
Costume Shop moved in to help meet the
Halloween needs of area residents.

Dairy Queen is also a welcome addition
to our area. Located across from the
school, it gives students a chance to stop

off and get a delicious ice cream snack
before going home. The ice cream
establishment became very popular on
days students are in school for only a
half day and on weekends.

The popular Weather Vane ice cream
eatery has added another location.

Acctjrding t(j some sophomores, their
favorite Granite City stores are as follows:

“Wal-Mart has a wide .selection of
music, and that’s why I like it, — David
Cattani.

“1 think Walgreen’s is awe.some. It
has everything you need,” — Penelope
Meyer.

“Corner Market is the best becau.se it

has good candy,” — I,aura Canada.

“We like Wal-Mart. It has a variety of
high-quality supples,” — Jonathan
D)hman and Josh Reyes.

“The Dollar Tree is great. We like it just
because everything is only a dollar,” — Ali-
cia Gaines, Jennifer Goodrich, and Aman-
da Hutchings.

“I like the Fashion Bug becau.se they
have really c<x>l clothing.” — Jamie Edwards
“The best bakery with the best cookies
is Mrs. Seibold’s.” — Travis Thomas
“1 mostly shop at St. Clair Square. When
I shop in Granite City, I like Glik’s Spons.”
— Sal Ochoa

TWO DOWN, TWO TO GO

The sophomores had made it big this year. They no
longer had to tolerate the tortures of being called lowly
freshmen. After experiencing a year at GCHS, teachers,
hallways, and room numbers were all a little more famil-
iar to them. And now, they had the chance to direct the
freshmen around the campus.

"This year as sophomores, we get to pick on the fresh-
men,” — Michelle Huffman.

“Being a sophomore is much better than being a
freshmen. It’s easier because you know more people
and you know your way around.” — Amanda Coryell
The more .seniority a student gains at high .school, the
more special privileges follow. This type of arrangement
coincides with the military on a smaller scale. The

sophomores still look up to those of higher authority,
the juniors & .seniors, but still treasure the feeling of not
being last on the totem pole. Sophomores al.so have the
privilege of more class electives.

"Sophomores get the opportunity to go to prom if
they are asked by a senior,” — Trudy Grooms.

“Being a sophomore is cool because you don’t get
bossed around and you do the bossing. You’re also one
year clo.ser to being a senior and graduating.” — Jolene
Harris

These tenth-graders worked hard and long to reach
the position of third rank. They intend to gain more
respect as they enter into another challenging year ..
grade 1 1 .

LEFTIES HAVE RIGHTS TOO

As the students settle down in the classrtKtm, a problem arises. The stu-
dents get to their desks and begin their a.ssignments. One student looks
around at the students seated around his desk, and realizes that they are all
right handed and he is the only left handed person in class. Is this a problem?
Possibly.

How about .some other situations? Can any of the following items cau.se
problems for someone: Soup ladles, pens, pencils, .schtxil desks, or spiral
noteb<M)ks. If .so, they may po.ssibly fall in the small percentage of .students
who make up the left-handed population.

Denise .Mueller is left handed and she says, “Being left handed is not ctxil
when you are writing in a spiral notebook. The wire keeps you from reaching
all the way to the left. One cool thing, however, is that yt>u are in the minori-
ty. For .some reason you tend to get lots of attention ha.sed on the hand you
use to write.”

Pencil sharpeners are made for the majority. Also, baseball mitts and golf
clubs are designed for the right-handed person, unless you order a special
set. "1 am unique because when I play softball I stand on the other .side of the
plate," .says Lindsay Hendrix. “Everyone is born right handed and only the
best overcome it" says Emily Falter and Kristen Orsborn.

Left handers have their own views of being “lefties". Instead of being dif-

ferent, they consider them.selves as being unique in their own way.

“When a right handed girl smacks a guy I can equalize it and slap him with
my left hand,” states Tina Evans. “I am unique because I write with my left
hand, but do most other things with my right hand,” adds Jamie Ca.ssiday

When you think of left handed people, do you think about them doing
some things backwards? When a left handed person ties his shtxjs, does it
l<x)k backwards to you? Does it aLso l<x)k backwards to you when you see
someone left handed eating?

“Misty Bugg advises, “Don't ever sit next to a left handed person when eat-
ing because you will bump elbows and they get in your way.” Amanda Patton
says, “1 cannot stand it when left-handed people hit my arm while 1 am writ-
ing or steal my arm rest at the movies.

Sometimes it is tough, but, most of the time this group of minority students
are able to get through the day just like anyone el.se. They write their as.sign-
ments, unlixk their ItKks, and even get a drink out of the right-handed drink-
ing fountains.

The next time you find yourself kxiking at left handed people thinking they
arc different, remember they may think you l<x>k different to them .... and,
lefties have rights ttxi.

STICK IT TO ME

Over the years, stamp collecting has become a popular hobby. Anything frttm stamps sent from famous people, to special edition stamps fea-
turing historic events or famous people, to ordinary stamps you .see in everyday life have been collected by people around the world. In the year
184 1 a young lady from London wanted to cover her walls in postage stamps. Her collection ro.se to 16,000 and a mania of collecting stamps
began.

Collecting stamps actually began when the first stamps were u.sed for mailing letters. However, stamps were printed long before they were
used for postage.

It all started with the Stamp Act in the year 1712. This act pas.sed by the British Parliament was created by a man named Rowland Hill. They
were known as the one-pienny black and two-pence blue. The next country to issue stamps was Brazil, in 1843, followed by the United States in
1845. By 1850 stamps were being used all over the world.

Stamp collections have become much more involved since then. Serious collectors have evolved just like stamps have evolved. Stamps are
now divided into two categories, canceled and uncanceled. Canceled stamps have been u.sed while uncanceled stamps, no matter how old, have
never been used. L’ncanceled stamps are wonh more than canceled stamps unless the stamps were .sent from a historic figure or anyone el.se
that would make such a letter rare and special.

Much like other common collections, any error on a stamp will increase the value as long as the error has been noticed. One example was a
red two cent stamp bearing the portrait of George Washington. Three of the sheets printed were accitlentally made five cent stamps making
that misfit stamp one of the most valuable ever made. Today stamps still feature famous people and places, but famous cartoons are al.so a very
popular illustration for a stamp. Stamps, along with their collectors, never stopped progre.ssing.

Through the ages, stamp collecting has been the choice of many. It has excelled to one of the most popular hobbies known. If you don't have
a g(K)d hobby, think about stamp collecting.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

There is never a more perfect time to spend an hour or two and have a meal with your family and friends than Thanksgiving.
One of our GCHS teachers helped spread the tradition by holding a Thanksgiving dinner for her child care cla.ss as well as other
guests.

Cathy Riebold’s fifth and sixth hour child care classes held a huge Thanksgiving day feast in honor of the longstanding tradi-
tion. The sixteen children, ages two, three, and four, got to invite their parents, grandparents, and other family members of their
choosing as well as some privileged staff members.

The 16 high school students that were enrolled in the cla.ss were also special guests. This was the second year that Mrs. Kiebold
held this event. From staa to finish, it was a fun event for everyone.

The.se students included Amanda Barunica, Gloria Briagas, Jamie Christopher, Celeste Clayton, Crystal Davis, Debra Davis, Inge
Evans, I^a Haddix, Tiffany Harris, Nathan Nichols, Rebekah Patter.son, Elizabeth Pool, Jamie Schubert, Kimberly Speece, and
Kendra White.

The children, with the careful guidance of these high school students, were also involved in making the meal. First, the kids
were able to design their own aprons. Using hand print turkeys, the aprons were decorated and eventually worn during the cook-
ing of the dinner. Next, the children helped make mashed potatoes, cherry and pumpkin pie, stuffing, corn, and dinner rolls. Mrs.
Riebold prepared the turkey.

The meal was a great time for the 16 special little people, the high .school students, and the invited guests. Everyone hojjes this
will become an annual event.

YIPPY, SKIPPY, HAPPY, FEET

Some people think that our shoes are not
important, but that's wrong. People look at us
from top to bottom. From our hairstyles to the
shoes that cover our little ttxfs. we're always in
the spotlight.

Sometimes we have a special pair of shoes.
We wear them t)ver and over and never want to
part w ith the shabby pair. They're comfortable
and they've formed them.selves exactly to the
shape of our feet.

We've walked the halls of the high .schcxtl
with them, walked the streets of Granite City,
and walked in the rain, on our way home from
scIkmiI. We recall the day we selected tho.se
outstanding pairofshtres and now regret the

day we have to put them aside for a new-
special pair.

Some sophomores feel the same way
about their ftxnwear. Their soft, comfort-
able f(X)t coverings have become their
friends, and they know, it's tough to part
w'ith a friend.

"My .sandals are cute, that's why 1 wear
them." — Kiystal l.arsen
"1 wear Airwalks just becau.se they are
comfortable." — Tony Morak

"My favorite pair of shtxjs are my sandals
becau.se they make me feel special and
pretty, even though 1 have hairy feet." —
Jeremiah Berkley

"The shoes I wear are Nikes, they are cool
and comfortable." — Kevin Clayptx)l
“Adidas are stylin'." — Jeremy Gesang
"1 like my black and white Reebok because
t hose arc my favorite colors." — Laura .Marshall
“I like my Nikes becau.se they are cool." —
Jamie Schreiber

Whether they are tennis shoes, platforms,
or sandals; Nike or .Adidas shoes are an es.sen-
tial pan of your wardrobe and should not be
neglected. With all the ptipular fashion fads
around ttxJay, it should not be difficult to find
a pairofshtxrs to fit your needs. No matter who
you are or what you wear, your shoes will
always be the “sole" pan of your wardrobe.

RESOLUTIONS AND SOLUTIONS

The New Year celebration is special for
everyone. Friends gather to share the excite-
ment of the countdown as they watch every-
one at Time Square in New York City.

For the sophomores, not only does this sig-
nify the beginning of a new year, but it means
they are almost at the end of their second year
at OCHS. When the school year comes to a
close, they are no longer Number 3, but will
now take the Number 2 spot as juniors.

Every year after Christmas sophomores
re.solve to improve. Some decide to clean up
their bad habits and become a better person.
Most students feel confident they will suc-
ceed, while others know they won’t even make
it up to February.

VtTiether they resolve to shed ten pounds.

stop smoking, improve their attendance,
or be more respectful to others, it is impor-
tant they make an attempt to keep their
New Year’s promise and accomplish their
piersonal goal.

The following sophomores have volun-
teered to share their New Year’s resolu-
tions with everyone:

“I re.solve to do better in sch<M)l and not
get .sent out in the hall from Mr. Mihalich’s
class.” — Joseph Hamm

“Do better in schtx)l, stay out of trouble,
and get better grades." — Cody Gray &
Joseph Johnson

“1 resolve to make better grades.” —
Mathew Williams

“Better grades and more active in many

.school activities.” — Amanda Rinehart & Jessi-
ca Harper

“My resolution is that 1 would like to lose
weight” — Billy Holland
“1 resolve to do better in my schtxjlwork.” —
Jamie Trum

“For the new year, I want to make a lot of
money” — Chelsey Goins
"I will work to be a part of a winning varsity
f(x)tball team.” — Jtx; McClure
“My re.solution is that 1 could be a nicer per-
son.” — Patrick Fowler

“I resolve and need to keep my eyes open,
my mouth shut, and my nose out of other [peo-
ples’ business.” — Rebecca Miller

FRESHMAN HEALTH

HEALTHY STUDENTS - HEALTHY MINDS

Of the many classes students are required to take in order to
graduate, one is health class. Most students take this class their
first year at GCHS. In health class, students learn about the various
systems and functions of the human body, and learn how to keep
their bodies fit and how to maintain a healthy life style.

Some of the topics the students cover in this cla.ss are: making
responsible choices, physical fitness, personal care and appear-
ance, managing stress, alcohol, tobacco, drug abuse, reproduc-
tion, .sexually-transmitted disea.ses, and environmental and public
health.

The teachers in charge of these classes are David Weller, Charles
Kraus, and Cheryl Petrillo. They put in long hours of preparation
to make sure their students are always well informed on current
health Issues.

On Fridays, the freshmen students are taught by seniors in the
A.L.P.H.A. program. The peer leaders talk to the students on a
friendly basis about topics that may be difficult to deal with during
their high .school years. They also plan fun and educational activi-
ties while in class.

Most health students enjoy and benefit from this class. They are
grateful for their dedicated teachers and Friday peer leaders.

FRESHMEN WRITERS

Freshman composition is a required class for all ninth-graders. It is
an intensive writing course in which they learn the basic writing skills
needed for life.

Students learn writing mechanics, usage, and techniques on how to
perfect their writing. During the semester, students are required to
write several essays. Some of the essays written are narrative essays,
which tell stories; expository essays, which explain or inform; and per-
suasive essays, which persuade people to have a certain point of view.
A business letter and a friendly letter are also required.

The other five essays are determined by the teacher. Cindy Christo-
pher’s class wrote a Halloween story for one of their required essays.
She asked the students to be creative in their writing and express them-
selves through their creativity. She encouraged her students to take
their writing seriously because it will help them during their remaining
three years in school.

Mrs. Christopher says, “Freshman composition will also benefit stu-
dents in college and in their future careers.”

BOOK ’EM, DANNO

To avoid the everyday hassle of carrying around
six or more books, students use backpacks. Tbese
packs come in many different sizes and shapes vary-
ing from plain colors to designs portraying popular
carttxrn characters.

“I got a navy blue backpack because it’s my
favorite color." — Kelly Mitchell

■’When considering what to purcha.se, I got
Reebok because it was cute.” — Ashley Bagi
“1 decided not to have a plain bag .so, I decorated
it to make it more personal.” — William Reed
Students also carry btxtkbags if they cannot get to
their locker in between clas.ses. Tbese students usu-
ally carry everything they would normally put in
their ItKker. Others carry a btxik bag to be part of the
‘norm’ of the high school. When asked why they
carry their btxikbag. some students replied:

“I carry it so I don't have to rush to my ItKker
every hour.” — Jennifer McGuire

"My backpack is with me becau.se it is the cool
thing to do.” — Corey Powell

With the Stan of each .schtx)l year, sometimes
students get new backpacks, they may, however,
decide to keep theirs from the previous year
becau.se it has .sentimental value. Students arc-
finding that each year the cost of btxtkbags goes
up.

"I kept my old backpack becau.se the new one
I bought was hard to carry around.” — Ijuren
Coppedge

"I got a new one becau.se it was the first one I
.saw when I went into the shtK store." — Kenneth
Tourville

Whether used as a convenience, a trend, or as

another way to be in style, btxtkbags are pan of mtist
students’ schtxil needs. They do, however, cau.se a
traffic jam in the hallways. Those big, over-sized bags
ihal hang off the back .so most students are usually
bumping someone on either side of the wearer as
the [Krson turns. They’re always in someone’s way,
as well as being such a heavy load on the student
who is wearing them.

’When we are walking down the hall, we always
get hit by everybtxJy’s backpacks when they turn.”
— Stephanie .Sanders, Christie Manin, and Casy
Reiser

Whether they are carrying them to be ctxtl or
becau.se going to tbeir kxker is ttx) much of a ha.ssle,
decorating them or leaving them plain, every fresh-
men is going to have a special backpack at GCHS.

STICK IT TO ME

There are many ways to obtain infor-
mation about club meetings and school
functions. One is to listen to the
announcements in first and seventh
hours. Another would be to ask a friend or
a teacher. But an easy, sure-fire way of
obtaining this information would be to
check the blue bulletin boards .scattered
throughout the school.

Assistant principal Steve Hamilton is in
charge of these boards. Announcements
and information displayed must meet
with the approval of Mr. Hamilton.

The boards have information regarding
club meetings, school functions, scholar-
ship information, truancy notices, news-

paper articles featuring G.C.H.S. stu-
dents, student and staff of the month
announcements, city organizations,
local bands, etc.

The bulletin boards are UKated in
the business hall, the English hall, near
the senior foods lab, at both main stair-
cases, the upstairs .science and health
hall, the downstairs science hall, in
front of the main office, and across
from the entrance to the media center.
They are located throughout the build-
ing in these designated areas .so it is
ea.sy for anyone to find and read the
information displayed on them.

These bulletin boards are placed in

the halls not only for informational pur-
poses but also because nothing is allowed
on the freshly renovated school walls.
Putting boards in designated areas helps
the students know exactly where to go
when in .search of needed information.
They are also helpful to students who co-
op and do not have the opportunity to lis-
ten to both the morning and afternoon
announcements.

If you need some .school information,
keep your eyes peeled for the nearest bul-
letin board. Read it and become
informed.

TEACHERS’ PEEVES — TEACHERS’ PETS

Students are obsessed with the idea of trying to drive teachers crazy. It has been a tradition passed down from generation to generation. Par-
ents did it, their parents did too, and now the tradition continues.

The infatuation of trying to put the 'stress' on teachers happens continuously at GCHS. Once students figured out what really 'peaves' a
teacher, the rest is easy. There are many ways, but here are some of the top frustration situations; (1) Passing or writing notes in class. (2) Doing
English in history class. (3) Writing names and dates on the desks. (4) Eating sunflower seeds in cla.ss and trying to hide them in your bag. (3)
Coming to cla.ss late without an appropriate pass. (6) Tapping a pencil against the desk or clicking a pen while taking a test. (7) Arriving in class
with no writing instrument. (8) Always turning in assignments late. (9) Askingdaily tttget adrink, u.se the restroom, or see the nurse. (10) Click-
ing pens.

Like those students who are trying to irritate teachers, there are always those who do the complete opposite by being commonly called the
teachers pets.' Teachers pets have certain qualities and certain characteristics which endeared them to the teacher. These qualities and char-
acteristics can be easily acquired by following these instructions:

(l)Come tocla.ss prepared with pencil, paper, and completed homework. (2) Always get to class before the bell rings and be in your assigned
seat. (3) Rai.se your hand when asking or answering a question. (4) Always appear to be interested in the cla.ss. (5) Become involved in cla.ss dis-
cu.ssions. (6) Always volunteer to hand out papers. ("7) Ask for extra credit even thought it is not required. (8) Never skip class. (9)Compliment
everyone and always have a positive attitude toward everything. (10) Finally and most importantly be di.screte and subtle.

Devotion to these rules may a.ssure students a gotxl place in the teacher’s heart ... but not always in the gradebook.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Everyone loves P.E. The MPH students like P.E. more than any other students at this high school ... just ask them.
The class plays t-ball, hockey, volleyball and other various sports. Mr. Marc Mason comes to the high school every
morning first hour to teach these very special students. He enjoys it just as much as the students.

Much appreciation also goes to the teacher aides. They help the students get off their buses in the morning or out
of their cars. During P.E. the aides help the students play the sports. Everything gets into high competition at that
time.

“It’s fun kickball is my favorite game, 1 love to win, I usually tell my competitors, this means war.” — Tori Hender-
son

“I think it’s pretty fun, I love to play the games.” — Amanda Wright

“Soccer is my favorite sport to play during my physical education class. Then I can speed art)und and not get into
trouble.” — Cody Stout

The cla.ss is typically held in the atrium unle.ss there is a special activity planned. One of the most favorite games is
the Parachute game. This game entails bouncing a ball on a parachute, and preventing it from bouncing off. Students
stand around the parachute and hold on to it, launching the ball high into the air.

The class not only lets the students have fun, but it is also very beneficial for the students muscle ilevelojiment. It
is very important that the students get the appropriate exercise to keep them healthy. Although some think it’s just
to have fun, this P.E. cla.ss is exercise in di.sguise.

IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN

what one thing wt>uld you have with you if you
were trapped on an island? What would you pur-
chase if you only had ten dollars? These questions
were put befttre some freshmen. Their answers var-
ied as much as their personalities. The first question
asked ninth-graders was regarding what they would
bring with them on an island. Their responses are as
follows:

“It would have a huge mansion with lots of ftxxl on

it." — James Baily

“I would have my Backstreet Boys music with me.”

— Amber Lewis.

“I would like my friends with me.” — Jennifer

Bohn

"The one thing I would have with me is weights.”

— Dino Clifford

"It would be my clothes.” — Michelle Nash

“My hible is the one thing 1 would bring.” —
Sandra Link

“I would have toilet paper with me.” — Sarah
Patton

“A raft is what I would bring.” — Jeremy Wiles

“A fuzzy teddy bear.” — Trina Utz

“My best friend would be with me.” — Evelyn

Dugan

“I would bring sunscreen.” — Sandy McGuire
Now they were asked about money. What
would they purchase if they only had $10.00. Ten
dollars doesn't .seem like t(x> much money
unless that's all you have left. This is what they
would purchase.

“I would buy ftxxi.” — Ju.stin Kuehnel
“My money would buy .something fashion-
able.” Brandy Gant

“My last ten dollars would buy me a teddy bear.” —
Emily Whitehead

“I would go see a movie with what money I had
left.” — Mark Boucher

“I would buy chicken-flavored mxxJles." — Kenny
Tourville

“SttK’k is what 1 would buy.” — Anne.s.sa Martinez
“F(X)d and clothes are what I would buy.” — James
Scrum

"I would buy a box of rtKks.” — Bobbyjarrctt
"New underwear is what my last ten dollars would
go to.” — John Bracamontcs
"Three cans of .silly string and two .stxJas is w hat my

DO YOU HAVE AN I.D.?

Keeping track of over 2400 students is not an easy task
for faculty, administrators, or the monitors. Therefore,
a system of identification is needed .. the photo identi-
fication card.

Jane Moore, who works in the attendance office, is in
charge of making sure everyone has the proper identifi-
cation. Every student must carry an identification card
which is also u.sed as a library card and a bus pa.ss. If a
teacher or anyone el.se stops a student, they will imme-
diately know with whom they are speaking. Failure to
carry an identification card or refusing to show your
identification upon request will result in di.sciplinary
action.

Most students at GCHS like the system of carrying
their identification in their wallets or pockets. Some

.school districts, however, ask students to wear their
identification cards as a pin. In this way, it would be dis-
played at all times.

When asked whether or not they liked having a high
school identification card, .several freshman comment-
ed.

“The rea.son 1 like the I.D. card is becau.se I can get into
movies cheaper.” — Jacob Janek.

“I don’t want to carry an I.D. I’m very forgetful.” —
Cody Anderson

“I always worry about whether or not 1 have it — Natal-
ie Tretter

“Some people might try to .say they go to our high
.school when they really don’t, and the I D. card pre-
vents that.” — Jim Scrum

A SLICE OF PIZZA

Everyone knows what one of the most addictive substances in Granite City
is. You can purcha.se it at several places in town. It's difficult to avoid .. it's
pizza.

Pizza is one of the most popular types of frxxl with students. It comes in
.second only to hamburgers and fries. Its popularity can be .seen in the variety
of pizzas sold in the restaurants around town.

There’s pepperoni, cheese, hamburger, ,sausage, olives, mushrcHims, etc.
If none of those hit the spot, try mixing a combination of two or more. Or, try
some pi/.za bagels, or pizza bread.

Not very many people are immune to the pizza addiction. The lunch line
in the cafeteria is long on Monday when Domino's tlelivers. During the other
days, schrxil pizz,a is just as popular.

“I love Domino's pizza on .Mondays." — .Megan Gibbs

"I like it when they .serve Domino’s at schtxil becau.se it's hot and fresh."
— Jes.se Spangler

"Pi/,z.a from the cafeteria is g<M>d because you never have to chixise what
you want on it." — Bryan Fornachon

Many of our athletes go out for their favorite pizza after a game. It’s a time
to be with friends and relax after an exhausting victory.

“I go to Imo's after fixitball games becau.se everyone is there after the

game and if you do not have enough money everyone pitches in and it is a lot
of fun.” — Stephany Copeland

"After I play fixiihall I go to Imo's because all of my friends go and the pizza
is great.” — David Antognoli

Of course, you don't have to go anywhere toget a pizza if you chtxise not
to. Most places deliver. All it takes is a little patience, a generous tip, and
before you know it, the hot, delicious pi/,za is on your plate.

"I like delivery because it is more convenient because I can not drive yet. ”
— jess Buford

“Getting pi/^.a delivered .saves the trip of having to go to the pi/j'.a place.
— Erik lilies

Pizza has cau.sed many people to abandon their diets and possibly spend
all their extra money. lnsomeca.ses, the craving for that spicy slice has cau.sed
people to actually attempt to make pizza by themselves.

"When I tried to make pizza, it was gixxl. The crust turnetl out golden
brown and the chee.se was melted just right." — Michael C<x>k

'1 made a huge me.ss when I tried to make pizja and it al.so was burnt. " —
Gloria Brown

Will this menace to sixiety ever he stopped? Let’s hope not.

SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE

Everyone wants to belong to some group. This is why so many students at GCHS try out for sports and join clubs.
One thing each student is required to do is sign an extra-curricular code of conduct . This is so pupils, along with main-
taining decent grades, will act like mature young adults.

The code of conduct outlines behavior students should use if they want to be recognized as a part of a certain sport
or club. For each activity they want to join, students, as well as parents must read, sign, and understand this.

Some of the things stated in the code of conduct are prohibition of drugs and alcohol, theft, vandalism, or any ille-
gal activity. These acts may not be done under direct school supervision and are also punishable if they are done while
not under direct school supervision.

For those who participate in activities at school, they must attend school at some part of the day of an event and for
students who are temporarily placed out of school, students are suspended from the activity they are involved in dur-
ing the time they are in trouble. Any activity that is not specifically stated in the code of conduct, which is considered
to be dishonest will be taken to the Disciplinary Review Board.

The punishments vary according to the .severity of the offen.se. It ranges from suspension from the sport for a short
period of time to permanent suspension from the school’s extra curricular program.

So next time you want to belong to a group, keep in mind that in order to be recognized as a member, you must act
according to the school’s extra-curricular code of conduct, or be ready to suffer the con.sequences.

YOUNG WARRIOR FANS

And the VC'arriors have done it again. Go
Warriors! Granite City High School has
not only a large student body, but an
enthusiastic one as well making for exit-
ing sporting events. Some students make
an effort to wear our school colors, red
and black, while others just wear casual
clothes. A number of students attending
these events are there to socialize with
their friends and some are there to meet
new people. >X'hatever the reason, our
students always manage tocheer the team
to victory.

The homecoming football game is

probably one of the most attended
sporting events at our ,sch(K)l. At this
game you will find devoted fans from
each ,sch(K)l cheering their loudest for
their team to win. Cheerleaders, the
pom squad, and band members not
only entertain the fans, but also
encourage the players to try their hard-
est.

At the beginning of the year, you will
find all grade levels attending the
sporting events, but the freshmen
seem to be fewer in number. As the
school year progres.ses, .so dt) the fresh-

men fans.

“1 like to watch the fcxitball and scKcer
games because my friends are on the
teams.” — Sarah Dettwiler

“1 enjoy watching fcxitball and ba.seball

GLOSSY ENTERTAINMENT

Flipping through glossy magazine pages is
certainly more entertaining than reading cer-
tain school assignments. The contents are
contemporary and more up-to-date with stu-
dent life.

Magazines offer a higher form of entertain-
ment for students. Magazines, after all, are
able to help girls decide what pair of shoes to
buy for the next big event, or help guys debate
whether or not to buy a certain automobile.
Magazines picture items that any .self-respect-
ing conforming teenager has to run right out
and purchase. Going through life without
these certain items would not make life as
interesting or stimulating.

Having a magazine to read during study hall
provides a welcome change for students who
have entered the boredom zone. The follow-
ing are some favorite magazines freshmen stu-

dents enjoy reading:

“I enjoy reading Dirt Wheels, because 1
race four-wheelers.” — Donnie James
"Guitar World is one magazine I like to
read becau.se it is about guitars.” — Nathan
Bernaix

“1 like BMX Plus becau.se it is about
bikes.” — Steven Hartzel

“Circus Magazine, becau.se it has great
music information about my favorite
bands.” — Ru.sty Bernaix

“1 enjoy reading Teen Magazine, because
it contains gotxl articles.” — Jessica
Sprague

“1 read Seventeen and YM. The articles
are what teens like to read.” — Whitney
Scott

“Circus Magazine is a good one, becau.se
it includes excellent pictures and cool

clothes.” — Tara Reynolds

“I like to read the magazine Ix)w Rider,
because I like cars.” — John Heck

“1 like YM Magazine becau.se it relates to a lot
of the things in my life today.” — Lorri Kreher
“I like Seventeen Magazine becau.se it has
more interesting topics for readers.” —
Christina Obremski

“I read Seventeen and YM. They are inter-
esting and 1 can relate to them. They are al.so
fun to read.” — Jada Foster

“1 like Seventeen. They have interesting
articles and I like to read the horo.scopes.” —
Amanda Hutchings

“Spons Illustrated is my favorite magazine.
It keeps me up to date with the latest s|xm.s.”

TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY

What’s all this talk about megahertz, RAM, gigabyte, and hard drive? What do they mean? Shopping for a com-
puter can be a tough assignment if you don’t know the basic terminology used in today’s computer talk. What’s
the solution? Learn the terms associated with today’s computers. Here we go.

Software — The programs on a computer, such as games and word processing.

Byte — The basic unit of storage needed to store a single character.

Gigabyte — a unit used to measure the capacity of hard drives or other storage devices. One gigabyte is equal
to 1 billion bytes.

Hardware — Computer equipment such as, a printer, monitor, and keyboard.

Hard drive — The computer’s main internal-storage device.

Megabyte — a unit used to measure the capacity of hard drives and other storage devices. A megabyte equals
approximately 1 million bytes.

Megahertz — A unit used to measure a computer’s speed. A 400 MHz computer runs faster than a 130 MHz
machine.

Modem — Enables a computer to transmit and receive information over the telephone lines. Modems are the
means by which people who use computers connect to the outside networks, such as World Wide Web or the
Internet.

Pentium — This is the most popular microprocessor chip u.sed in computers today. It is manufactured by Intel.

Random Access Memory — A temporary storage area that is measured in megabytes. It is used to load program
instruction and store files currently in use.

Are you now ready to tackle the computer retail store and speak intelligently with the person in charge? Don’t
be afraid of what’s new and challenging. Don’t be antitechnology and consider it as an obstacle. Use it as a tool
to unlock and open the door to greater information. Remember, all of the modern wonders we use today would
not exist if it were not for the technology of the past.

The only thing you have left to do is purchase your computer and get connected.

PRINCIPAL

received a Bachelor of Science in math in 1967. He did his graduate studies at Southern
Illinois University/Edwardsville and received his Masters degree in education & adminis-
tration.

of the administration as assistant principal, and he held this job for three years. Now he has
the top responsibility as principal of one of the largest schools in the state of Illinois. His
position is not an easy one. It is his responsibility to keep everything running smoothly,
and keep order and discipline at our school.

Despite his busy schedule, he still manages to be active in school functions. He attends
plays, band concerts, and music performances. He can also be seen at a majority of the
home athletic events.

At home, Mr. Rotter’s wife, Mary, and family provides much support and encouragement
through the more difficult areas of administration. He has one son, Michael, and two
daughters, Laura and Erin. They are always there with encouraging words.

The year marks the fifth of what will be many more successful years as principal of Gran-
ite City High School. See you next year.

nizations. He oversees all extra-curricular events, and all athletic tournaments held at GCHS. He also works
clo.sely with the Warrior Boosters club to help our student athletes. His job is very' hectic at times, but he makes
sure that all events hostetl by GCHS run smoothly. Of course, his job is not only about athletics. His Vice Prin-
cipal title means that he is the man in charge when Mr. Rotter is not on campus.

of time to this special event. He wants the ceremony to be a memorable one for all graduates.

STEVE HAMll.TON is one of the two assistant principals who deal with discipline. He has been an a.ssistant
principal for four years. Students with last names beginning with letters A through L are sent to him. He over-
sees all after school and Saturday detentions. He also coordinates all of the drug searches at GCHS. He insures
that punishments given to students are equal to their misbehavior.

CINDY GAGICH has been working at GCHS as an assistant principal for three years. She is the vocational
director and oversees the following programs: Industrial, Technology, Business, Home Economics depart-
ments, and Health Occupations Program. She coordinates programs such as Job Shadowing and 8th Grade
Orientation. School Improvement, Educational Development Days, ISBE Internal Review and the North Cen-
tral Evaluation proce.ss are also among her duties, as well as curriculum issues.

the letters M through Z. She also helps with teacher evaluations and the revising of the 'Xarrior Student Hand-
book. She coordinates the parking lots and supervises students and staff members. Mrs. Wilkerson works with

Academics, friends, assemblies, organizations, clubs, and individuality have filled our lives
here. As we look back, we know we have affected the lives of others and constructed new
routes for ourselves. As we delve into our memories, we remember the first time we met our
teachers, our most challenging moments, the uncertainty we faced when we first came here,
and the feeling of elation at the end of each semester.

All our teachers represented different checkpoints along our road to graduation. Our
teachers, whether we knew them well or whether they represented one semester of learn-
ing, touched our lives forever. It was not possible for each of us to single out just one of these
excellent individuals as our spotlight teacher.

Therefore, we salute you all, say good-bye to you all, and thank you for bringing out our
individual strengths through your outstanding leadership and integrity.

DAY IN - DAY OUT

The AIDES of Graniie City High $c h<M>l bring a presence of an easier day to those special students in need of a little more help. Although uncommon to those who are not
being helped by these aides, those who require their assistance appreciate it dearly.

Time, patience, and optimism are qualities the aides posses Their job is very demanding, but none of them complain or find it n>utine. 'Hieir duties and responsibilities vary.
They help students with classroom work and assist them thniughout the hallways. They are. also, always there to talk w ith their students if they need questions answered or
explained

They do whatever it takes to complete the day with as little hassle as possible. Many stutlenis do not realize the time and hours put in by these s|x.‘cial people. They enjoy
being with students and consider themselves fonunate to be able togivea.ssistance when needed . The students and faculty members appreciate their efforts and say thank you ’

Everyday students rush into the CAFETERIA, get in line and hope to be the first to get a special table and be first in line. Our high sch(x>l cafeierial workers try hard each day
to make lunch special for all the students. Lunch begins at approximately 10:30 a m. and ends at 1 p.m It is up to these expenenced ladies to make sure there is always a g(x>d
variety of ftxxl for all the lunch hours. They also make sure everyone is satisfied with everything and that the s<Hla and juice machines are in gtxxl working rirder. Pat Hartman is
the lead lady. She has held this position for years, and finds each tlay a new experience. Even though lunch time stops by 1 p.m.. the ladies continue to work and make sure ever> *
thing is clean, in working order, and ready for the next sch<x)l day. These ladies perform an invaluable service to the sch<K>l and the students, and are always willing to assist you.

The CUSTODIANS at this sch<K)l have a very hard and tedious job that sometimes gixrs unappreciated. No one really understands the heavy work load better than the cus-
tcxlians themselves. There are two different shifts of cusKxlial work. During the day shift, these gentlemen can be seen keeping the campus clean inside and out. Vt'ho can for-
get the last dayofsch<x)l before final exams. Thecu.suxiianscenainlycannot. They are the people who have tocleanupall the notebtxiks.gumwrappers. stKia cans, and mounds
of junk left in the Itxkers. Sweeping our tra.shckxrs not even begin to describe their duties. The members of the crew are the unsung handy-men' ofthesch<M)l. Not only do they
sweep, they are responsible forcleaning up spills. mes.ses. and other not-so-glamorous accidents. The evening crew comes in at 5 p m. They begin cleaning the riKim even before
the faculty and students leave the building. The>’ work hard to ensure that students can learn inagtxxl. healthy envinmmeni. The lead man who keeps our fine establishment
in working <>rdcr is David Kessler. He has iheresponsibilityofmakingsurea member of the team is ready when needetl. He is also in charge keeping track of the hours worked,
ordering necessary supplies, and everything else it takes to keep our sch<x)l running sm<x^thly. With the c(x>peration of our cusuxlians, faculty, and students. Granite City High
School can always be a place that we are proud to attend.

At our high sch(X)l. we have special INTERPRETERS who have the task of assisting deaf and/or panially-tleaf students communicate by means of sign language The inter-
preters work with students, go to cla.sscs with them, help explain test questions, and whatever else is necessary tocomplete a sch(X)l day. Sometimes the day is long, but the stu-
dents and interpreters work well together. This always makes the job easier and the time pass quicker. They appreciate a gixxl challenge and enjoy trying to achieve it.

Walking throughout the halls at GCHS are the schcxjl MONITORS. How many times have you heard this? “May I see your I D. please?" These people are here to protect stu-
dents. They're here to help you. Through their presence, students are not as likely to be late to class, skip class, leave campus, or try to sneak a smoke. They also a.ssist vi.sitors
to the sch<x)l by directing them to their destination Their days arc strenuous and long, standing in cold, rain, or hot weather, but they play a very important role to this schtHil.
Connie Paterson. Beverly Golden, Ginny Henson. CliffGasseit. and Tom Brown are the hall monitors while Don Gray can usually be seen in ISS(in-sch(K)l supervision). Equipped
with walkie talkies, they can communicate with each other and help everytme keep better informed tocampus activity. They can also help kxate necessary students. These mon-
itors are greatly appreciated by the faculty, administration, and the students. Because of these dedicated few jxrople. our sch(X)l is able to function at a smtxxher pace.

Our SECRETARIES have one of the most difficult jobs in the sch<K)l. They have todeal with the .students, faculty, and the administrators on a daily basis and give 100-percent
to all their tasks. Everyday they face endless cxcu.ses, wre.stle through mounds of paperwork in surroundings that <x:ca.sionally arc "not .so quiet". They also try to understand
and use some of their complicated software.

But, even with all these obstacles, the secretaries enjoy the high sch<x>l and their jobs. They appreciate their bosses and like working with high sc hixil students They are the
epitome of gtxxl office workers, always using gixxl judgment and organizational abilities.

Thev get to work on lime, work vigorously all day. and come back to work the next day and do it all over again

THE PEER LEADERS

Adolescents Learning Positive Health Alternatives, or A.L.P.H.A., is a group of junior and senior students
who are chosen to help teach freshmen health students. They discuss how to deal with difficult situations
during their teenage years.

The peer leaders come into health classes every Friday for nine weeks. These leaders are chosen
according to involvement, leadership, and teacher recommendation. They not only teach the students but
also act as role models, supporting the students and listening to student comments. In order for the cla.ss
to get better acquainted with the peer leaders and other cla.ss members, the peer leaders sometimes plan
fun and educational games and activities.

The sponsors for the A.L.P.H.A. program are guidance counselors Michael Johnson and Frank McHugh.
The sponsors work to make sure the program runs succe.ssfully. They assign the peer leaders to classrooms
and provide material and information. Without their help, the A.L.P.H.A. program would not be as effective.

The A.L.P.H.A. program not only benefits thestudents but the peer leaders as well. As the health students
learn how to make the right choices in difficult situations, the peer leaders also learn from the freshmen
students. The A.L.P.H.A. program is beneficial to all who participate, and is a fun way for everyone to learn
from each other.

informal competition to keep his skills
sharp and his students alert. Club mem-
bers range in skills from beginner to
advanced.

230 EMPATHY

CARING AND SHARING

EMPATHY is understanding the feelings, thoughts, and motives of one which are readily comprehended by anoth-
er. Students often go through many problems and face difficult situations due to the stress and pressures of high
school. Empathy is there to help the students and give helpful alternatives.

The club was created so students could have the opportunity to relate their problems of everyday life with others.
Being a teenager is not easy and the road to becoming an adult can be uncertain. Occasionally students run into prob-
lems they feel cannot be faced alone. These problems seem smaller when shared with a friend.

Empathy is a special organization of ’friends’ coming together to share problems and unusual situations. The mem-
bers become gt)od friends and help each other to become better listeners. Mike Johnson and Frank McHugh are the
club sponsors as well as guidance counselors. They are always willing to listen to any problem and eager to help and
offer suggestions.

To be a member, students must get good grades, attend scbcxil regularly, and stay out of trouble. They must also
stay drug and alcohol free and have a high respect for others.

This club is a great way to make new friends and relieve stress throughout high school. Members become involved
because they want to make a difference in the lives of young adults today. The club makes it possible for every student
to have .someone who cares and someone who will always be there to listen.

EMPATHY 231

ENVIRONMENTAL

SAVE THE PLANET

Save the Planet. If you have ever visited one of the numerous Hard Rock Cafes, you would know this slo-
gan. The Hard Rock Cafe is not the only one that is dedicated to this slogan. The ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB
lives by these three words also.

This unique club is for students who want to save the planet for the future generations. Members are
involved in numerous activities to help make our Earth a better home. Some of the activities include Stash
the Trash, the Outdoor Classroom, a homecoming environmental float, and recycling various items in our
community. The environmental club also sells T-shirts and other merchandise in the beginning of the year
to help raise money for the different community activities.

The sponsors for this active club are guidance counselor Richard Skirball and biology teacher Jerry T rick-
ey. Dr. Skirball has been with the cluh for six years and this is Mr. Trickey’s first year as sponsor. He helps
coach the Envirothon team in addition to being co-sponsor.

The officers who help throughout the year are President Lind.say Heath, Vice President Julia Fuhrman,
Secretary Cheyenne Modglin, and co-Treasurers Christine Spudich, and Dimana Spudich.

This year, on September 17, the Outdoor Classroom was dedicated in memory of science teacher and
department chairman, Tom Pinnell. The environmental club donated $2,000 for the Tom Pinnell scholar-
ship through the Granite City Scholarship Foundation for students majoring in the environmental sciences.
This includes biological sciences or environmental engineering. The club also has new projects for this year
such as a bicycle trail in the fall and spring, and pizza parties.

Over the years, the club has pulled together to help save the environment from pollution, and promote
the awareness of the endangered species. The environmental club is your opportunity to helping the Earth
become a better place for everyone. Join the Environmental Club and you will understand why there should
really be more clubs like it.

234 FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES

FHO

TWO HEALTHY CLUBS

FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES is a fairly new
club at GCHS. It started in 1996 and has continued to grow
and acquire new members. The club sponsors are Nick Petril-
lo, Chers'l Petrillo, and Terry Papa. This is their second year as
sponsors.

FCA meets on Monday every other week. They meet at a
member’s house and hold discussions. The club has gym
nights, talent nights, guest speakers, and also shows selected
videos. Some of their activities include Trick or Treat for
canned goods. Thanksgiving baskets, Christmas baskets, and
Easter baskets. The club is also in the process of organizing
volleyball and basketball tournaments.

The sponsors are assisted by the club officers. They are
president Breann Chastain; vice-president Janelle Hankes;
secretar\’ Jeremy Stone; and activity coordinators Marc John-
son and John Afilers.

One of the most challenging clubs is FUTURE HEALTH
OCCUPATIONS. This club is for students who want to have a
future career in the health field. The club is now open to any-
one who wants to join; whereas in previous years only people
wanting a career in the nursing field could join.

Each year there is an election of officers. This year the offi-
cers are Jennifer Merz, president; Kate Marshall, vice presi-
dent; Denis Schwierjohn,secretar\ ; Jeremy Stone, treasurer.
These officers help organize field trips, figure out ways for the
club members to earn money, and find good guest speakers
to attend their meeting.

FHO is sponsored byjune Oney. The club has 25 active stu-
dents members. Members anticipate the club to grow each
year, and appreciate all the help Mrs. Oney has given them
this year.

FHO has many exciting things planned for the next year.
They are planning two field trips to the A. I M S. Medical Soci-
ety. They also plan on donating money to the Koch Clinic, and
the officers are trying to get guest speakers in the health field
to speak at their meetings. FHO is looking forward to a great
year.

236 FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB

CLUB

THE COUNTRY CLUB

The FOREIGN lANGUAGE CLUB is for anyone interested in
learning and speaking a foreign language. The sponsor of this
unique club is Spanish teacher, Dennis Church.

All students in the club share the same interest and enthusiasm
in learning more about different languages and cultures. It’s a way
to see how other countries communicate using different words
other than English, and still get the same message across to each
other.

The two languages taught at GCHS are Spanish and German. Stu-
dents who enroll in a foreign language class learn both conversa-
tion and written forms of the language. The teachers who make this
possible are Spanish teachers Dennis Church, Deborah I^rsen,
Janet Williams, and German teacher Alice Schardan. They come to
school each day and share their foreign experiences with their stu-
dents. This makes the classes more interesting and very enjoyable
for the participants.

The Wedne.sday before Thanksgiving, students from the club
went on a field trip to see the play, El Barbero de Sevilla. The pro-
duction is performed entirely in Spanish.

In March during Foreign Language Week, club members pass out
bon-bons to faculty members. They also ask students and faculty
members to wear apparel with a foreign phra.se or word written on
it. Participants in this event receive a prize from the club.

The officers this year are Megan Francis, president; Adam
Schillinger, vice president; Julie Mills, secretary; and Mary Lofink,
treasurer.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB 237

FBLA

IT’S ALL IN THE GAME

FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS OF AMERICA is in its second year. The club was started by Ronald
Gilreath and Carol Sturdivant to get more students interested in the business field. This organiza-
tion is not just about typing, answering the telephone, working on a computer, or filing papers,
but also being successful in the business world. It has helped many students learn more about the
business world and how it functions.

Although they meet only once a month, their meetings are very professional and helpful. Speak-
ers from different business fields attend these meetings, to help prepare the students for future
interviews and other job situations.

In past years, students have attended a National Leadership Conference in Cincinnati and also
several regional conferences.

The sponsors encourage everyone interested in any type of business field to join FBLA. “After
high school, students may choose to move on to the college level of FBLA, which is Phi Beta Lamb-
da,” says Carol Sturdivant.

Members hope this club will continue to be successful. The goal and skills taught to members
are extremely helpful in the future.

The officers for this year are Joe Shambro, president; Sarah Burris, vice president; Jessica Fon-
dren, secretary; and PJ Stewart, treasurer.

TEACHING AMERICA HOW TO TEACH

The FUTURE EDUCATORS OF AMERICA CLUB is in its fifth year and going strong. Mary Dame and
Denise Albrecht are the co-sponsors for the club. The students that participate in this club are interest-
ed in learning the teaching methtids and skills that are needed for having an education career.

The officers elected for the 1998-1999 school year were President Amanda Taylor, Vice President Kelly
Eortune, Secretary Christine Spudich, Treasurer Dimana Spudich, and committee members include
Stacey Baker and Jamie Edwards.

FEA takes part in a number of activities and projects throughout the school year. One of the main pro-
jects the club participates in is Junior Achievement. This is when students take off one day a week for an
hour and go teach business basics. Students go to an elementary school and teach younger pupils basic
economics. The higher the grade level, the harder the unit will be.

Another activity that EEA takes part in is the National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. Last year the con-
vention was in Dallas, Texas. The club tries to raise money, and help cut costs for the members who plan
to attend. They try to get as many members as possible to go to the National Convention.

FEA also has two car washes a year. One car wash is usually in the spring, and the other in the fall. At
the end of the school year, the club will usually have some kind of gathering to celebrate the success of
the club.

If you ever thought about pursuing a career in teaching or general education, then joining the Future
Educators of America would definitely give you a head start in your future.

HIGH WORLD

JOURNALISTIC GROUP

Granite City High School is privileged to have its own newspaper. The HIGH WORLD is an informative
and entenaining paper which everyone enjoys reading. It helps keep students and teachers up-to-date on
school related events.

The High World is sold for 25-cents an issue. The final edition of the school year is the senior edition and
is sold for 50-cents. Most of the time the journalism students sell the newspapers in the first hour class-
rooms. The High World staff consists of beginning and advanced journalism students. Most are seniors,
juniors, or sophomores. They all work together and are able to deliver one High World paper about every
five to six weeks. Aside from the advanced High World staff, beginner students in journalism classes put
together a newspaper called the Cub Edition. During the first nine weeks of the course, the students learn
about newspapers and how they are put together. In the second nine weeks, the students put together their
Cub Edition.

Mr. Antonio Betancourt is the advisor. Jessica Huniak has been editor-in-chief of the High World for two
semesters and Candice John.son was the co-editor for one semester. Assisting them are feature editors,
news editors, opinion editors, and sports editors.

“It is difficult to have everyone finish their stories and get the pages layed out, but the finished product
is worth it. I think everyone would agree that this year has been fun,” .says Jessica Huniak.

The High World is in its 72nd year and still continues to inform and enlighten the students at Granite City
High School. Thanks for the memories.

ICE HOCKEY

NOTEWORTHY TALENT

The ICE HOCKEY club consists of players, cheerleaders, and dedicated fans. They all have an interest in this fast-
paced sport. Each year attendance to ice hockey games increases as students are finding they enjoy the sport more
and more.

Even though the weather is usually quite cool, the supportive club members always go to hockey games to bright-
en things up for the players. Win or lose, the GCHS fans can always count on an entertaining game.

Throughout the year, the club has many social events. These may include a hayride and bonfire at Relleke’s farm,
ice skating panies, a social dance, and a picnic at the end of the year. Club members meet approximately once a week
to discuss upcoming games or other events.

Donna Lobdell and Karen Wesley co-sponsor the club. This is Mrs. Lobdell’s fifth year and Mrs. Wesley’s first. The
officers for the club this year are Michael Angle president, Billie Jo Hunt vice president, Katie Uthrop secretary, and
Joi McNiesh treasurer. When Michael Angle was asked about tbe bockey club, he responded:

“We have a good number of members, but there is always room for more. I hope the rest of the year goes as well as
it has so far, and that the club continues to prosper.”

It takes a combination of good students and active participants to make the hockey club a success. The club spon-
sors hope to have many more successful years, and wish the graduating seniors good luck.

INDIVIDUAL EVENTS is a class that teaches stu-
dents about competition and sportsmanship. Bever-
ley Scroggins is the sponsor of I.E., and has always
done an excellent job in teaching her students the
basic skills necessary for them to be victorious.

I.E. students compete in humorous duet acting,
dramatic duet acting, original comedy, impromptu,
expository, oratory, prose, verse, humorous inter-
pretation, dramatic interpretation, special occasion,
radio, and declamation. Most class members agree
there is continuous stre.ss and pressure in the com-
petitions. But, if they keep their minds focu.sed on the
event, they will be successful.

The class includes varsity and novice members.
The varsity team helps guide the novice and always
encourage them to win. The co-captains for this year
are Amy Pennell and Ryan .Moenster.

In competitions, the members must memorize
tbeir material and be readily prepared to make their
speech. The top five performers in each category
receive certificates while the top three receive tro-
phies. Granite City students always place as the top
winners. Some students who are very skilled in the-
atre may have a chance to join the International Thes-
pian Society.

GCHS is very proud of its I.E. members and hopes
to see many on the stage, movies, or television. Gran-
ite City would be ver\' proud if someone from here
would bring home a Tony, Oscar, or an Emmy. Good
luck.

JOBS FOR

WISE CAREER CHOICE

This is the second year for the club Jobs For Illinois Graduates Career Association. This club is
unlike many others in the school. JILG is a two-year program offered to seniors, and is taught by a
career specialist/faculty member, Carla Finkes.

The first year of this program is a two semester class that counts as an elective credit. During the
cla.ss Mrs. Finkes teaches leadership and employability skills that meet the needs of today’s
employers. During the second year, each student is provided continuing support and is expected
to keep in contact with Mrs. Finkes.

The goals of this club are to a.ssist senior students in high school and keep in contact with them
after graduation. The club and cla.ss al.so help the seniors make good career decisions. Whether
the students enter the military, continue their education in college, or immediately get a job after
high school, this class is there to assist them. It will also help those .seniors who are not exactly sure
of their future.

As in other school clubs, JILG has elected officers. They are Justin Meagher, president; Crystle
Bierschwal, vice president; Ryan Haddix, treasurer; Joanna Greenspan, historian; Amber Hubert,
reporter; and Misti Ford, secretary.

Mrs. Finkes feels she has a great cla.ss and is having a good year. She is also looking forward to
next year when she can share her talents, abilities, and wi.sdom with other students.

musical “Guys and Dolls.” The group also went to SIU-E to
hear author John Updike during the spring.

Another spring activity included the initiation of all new

S.A.D.D.

LOOKING GOOD

This year S.A.D.D. has attracted more stu-
dents than other years. The club is designed
to deter students from driving under the
influence. An annual S.A.D.D. convention is
held at Belleville Area College.

Faculty members Gary Storm and Bruce
Frank co-sponsor the club. They are very
committed to making this a quality organiza-
tion. “Have Fun,” is their motto. To accom-
plish this, they schedule events such as bowl-
ing, volleyball, hay rides and various other
activities.

Officers for the club this year are President
Nick Zotti, Vice President Kristen Ely, Secre-
tary Melanie England, and Treasurer Stacey
Baker.

An annual S.A.D.D. convention is held at
Belleville Area College. It is a great opportu-
nity to meet other S.A.D.D. members from
surrounding communities. Other high
schools that usually attend include,
Edwardsville, Belleville, Collinsville, and
Alton. This past year juniors and seniors from
GCHS were presented with gold pins in
appreciation for their loyalty to the club.

S.A.D.D. is an excellent club for students. It
not only teaches how to avoid alcohol, but it
is also an excellent way to get more involved
in extra-curricular activities.

SCIENCE

LIEE IN THE WILDERNESS

One of the largest clubs at this high school is the science club. Its 100
members are concerned with nature and enjoy working in the outdoors.
It is one of the most popular clubs and the members are students from
any of tbe science classes taught at the high school.

The environmentally conscious sponsors arejulie Klueter, Sheila Reit-
er, and Amy Heath. They are assisted by officers Jeff Ignatz, president;
Brandy Dugan, vice president; Kelly Edwards, secretar>'; and Kim Kohl,
treasurer.

The annual dues are $ 1.00. Additional funds are raised by selling vari-
ous items throughout the school year, with the money going into the
general fund. One of their traditional money-making projects is the
haunted barn at Relleke’s Farm in October. Members are always anxious
for the fund raisers to begin so they can raise money for this active club.

Members also enjoy participating in the homecoming parade. Every-
one works together to build a float that is entered into the parade. Cancly
is passed out throughout the parade route and it is a joyous time for
everyone.

Joining the science club can help you accomplish .some very important
tasks in your life. You meet new people, make new friends, and have fun
while you help work with the environment.

SOCIAL STUDIES

WAGONS WEST

If you are interested in how our society works, the in’s and
out’s of our public institutions, then perhaps you should con-
sider joining the SOCIAL STUDIES CLUB. It’s one of the more
progressive clubs at GCHS, because it is always involved in var-
ious activities.

The club plans seasonal trips and fundraisers throughout
the year. Pizza sales are always a big money making project.
The sales did extremely well last year and were brought back
again this year.

The money raised from the sales helps the students who
participate in the spring trip to San Antonio, Texas. Other
smaller field trips were also taken during the school year.

James D)mbardi returns for his fourth year as sponsor of
the club. He enjoys his job as club sponsor and plans to con-
tinue as the club’s leader next year.

This year’s officers are president Katie Serrano, who was
last year’s secretary; vice-president Jeffrey Ahlers, last year’s
treasurer, secretary Blake Smith, and treasurer Cory Simpson.
These four assist Mr. Lombardi in anyway possible to help the
club prosper.

President Katie Serrano says “Being a member and presi-
dent of the club has been fun. I have met many new people,
and got to go on fun field trips. Mr. Lombardi is so dedicated
to us, he makes it great.”

The social studies club continues to grow in numbers year
after year. Under the close watch of Mr. Lombardi and the
guidance of the elected officers, the club had another suc-
cessful year. Everyone hopes next year will match this year, or
be even better and more prosperous.

DEBATE

POSITIVES & NEGATIVES

Granite City High School has several different competitive
teams, but no team is quite like the DEBATE team. Each mem-
ber of the team is given an opportunity to present both sides of
a particular issue or topic; the positive and the negative argu-
ments. All of the arguments must be documented with sup-
pt)rted material, which is up to the student to research.

As with any other team, debate members travel to different
schools to present their cases. However, they also participate in
an intrasquad tournament where they debate over selected top-
ics. The winner takes home a trophy and the “Top Debater” title
as a reward for the accomplishment. The captain of the debate
team is junior, Robert Shipley.

The SPEECH & THEATRE CLUB was established for students
who enjoy the performing arts. It mainly consists of members of
the debate, speech, and individual events teams.

The officers of the speech and theatre club are Amy Pennell,
president; Richard Skirball, vice president; Katie Serrano, trea-
surer; and Tom Petrillo, secretary.

SPIRIT CLUB

MAKING US AWARE

Athletes need enthusiasm and support to help encourage vic-
tories. Coaches, teammates, and parents usually supply most of
this support, but GCHS also has a club that helps. It’s the SPIRIT
CLUB.

The Spirit Club is big on promoting school spirit. This club is
made up of not only cheerleaders and poms but of students who
are full of school spirit. Spirit Club is also big on helping the com-
munity.

The spirit club participates in various activities. The most pop-
ular activity is the distribution of secret pals. Upon joining the
club, the members are asked if they would like to have a secret
pal. Athletes in selected sports receive goodies of all varieties.
The spirit club also puts together a homecoming float and makes
the signs in which the athletes run through.

One other activity is the “sexy legs” competition. During
homecoming week, pictures of the varsity football players and
cheerleaders are displayed for students to vote. Each vote costs
one cent and students may vote as much as they wish. The female
and male with the most money wins the competition.

The sponsor of the club is Janet Williams and the officers are
president Sean Kuehnel, vice president Courtney Bosworth, sec-
retary Emily Worthen, treasurer Billie Jo Hunt.

The ETHNIC CLUB is a group of students at GCHS who work
together to unite all ethnic backgrounds, at school and in the
community. This is the ethnic club’s second year as an official
club at the high school. Assistant Principal Steve Hamilton began
the club two years ago. Janet Williams, the current sponsor,
hopes it will continue to grow as more ethnic students join the
GCHS population.

Anyone can be in the ethnic club. All you have to do is be a stu-
dent of GCHS and believe that all the different cultures in our
school and community can work together. Club members do
re.search required to accurately report black history on the
morning announcements during Black History Month

Other activities include making ethnic holidays knowledge-
able to everyone at the school, conducting surveys of different
ethnic backgrounds, and possibly making flags to represent each
of the.se countries.

This years officers include Sheri ta Reinhardt, president; Melis-
sa Stewart, vice president; Justin Smith, secretary; and Xiomara
Padilla, treasurer.

STUDENT

THE ELECTED LEADERS

Student Council consists of 10 seniors, 8 juniors, 6 sopho-
mores, and 6 freshmen. The elected students, with the help
of their president, Jacob Kamphoefner, work to achieve the
goals they set for themselves. They are assisted by Leah Gam-
blin, 1st vice president, and Mike Angle, 2nd vice president.
The council is guided by advLsor Linda Ames.

The qualification to be put on the ballot to become a rep-
re.semative in student council are a 3.5 GPA or better, and 30
student signatures.

Student Council representatives play an active part of our
school. They are helpful in the organization of many activi-
ties, community projects, and charitable acts.

One example is homecoming week. From choosing the
daily themes to .selling the beautiful mums. Student Council
has an active hand in the succe.ss of this much anticipated
week. They al.so organize the semi-formal homecoming
dance and the prom in the spring.

For Christmas, they help raise money for Christmas bas-
kets for the needy people in our community. Clubs and orga-
nizations, as well as individual students, help by donating
money to make the Christmas basket an annual success.

The hard work and dedication of Student Council and the
advLsor help make the school year a succe.ss for the entire stu-
dent body. They are always working to achieve another tra-
ditionally good year.

VARSITY

COMPETING FOR EXCELLENCE

The VARSITY CLUB is made up of a group of athletes who have received a varsity letter. To be eligible,
athletes must participate in a varsity sport and maintain a 3.0 grade point average.

Tim Moran, the club sponsor, is in his sixth year with the club. Mr. Moran, with the assistance of the club
officers, plan various meetings and activities. The 1998-99 officers are Hilary Martin, president; Crystal
Cavins, vice president; Natalie Judge, secretary; and Courtney Bosworth, treasurer.

Throughout the year the club takes part in many activities such as the Relleke’s Farm Holiday Harvest and
the faculty vs. letterman basketball and softball games. The varsity club also sponsors a donkey basketball
game in which they and student council compete against the faculty.

Members also go on a field trip and have a lock-in at the Y.M.C.A. Homecoming ribbons, their tradition-
al fundraiser, helped the club to raise money again this year.

The varsity club appreciates the tremendous efforts made by Mr. Moran. Without his help, it would be
difficult for them to be one of the most active clubs in tbe school.

WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND

One of the hardest working, and most challenging clubs at GCHS is V.I.C.A., Vocational Industrial Clubs
of America. The club is sponsored and advised by Don Kimbrell and has been for the past nine years. This
club is offered to anyone in high school who is enrolled in a trade, industrial, technical, or health occupa-
tion course.

This year there are approximately 35 members. Most of the members are able to meet everyday during 5-
2. When it is necessary' for officers to call general meeting with everyone, they meet in Mr. Kimbrell’s room
after school.

There are usually 2-3 general meetings a month. During the meetings, Mr. Kimbrell gives the students
encouragement and helps them maintain a positive attitude toward themselves and their future. He also
encourages them to enter the state competition so the first-place honor could be given to a Granite City
High School student.

At the beginning of each year there is an election of officers. This year the president is Don Cardin and
the vice president is Tim Shelton. Other officers include secretary' Steve Miller, treasurer Timothy Vandav-
eer, parlimentarian Paul Dea.son, and historian Rebecca Ellsworth. These officers assists Mr. Kimbrell in
making important choices and organizing events.

V.I.C.A. has many exciting projects. During the last few years, the club has placed No. 1 in the homecom-
ing parade. They also have many fund-raising projects. Some of their projects include sausage sales, mugs,
candy, and discount cards. The money helps pay for some of the expenses when members qualify for the
state competition.

The members agree that it pays to join VICA. They are part of a national organization and continuously
receive beneficial information that may help them with their chosen careers. They also agree that without
Mr. Kimbrell’s knowledge and assistance, there would be no club. The members thank him for his consid-
eration and for being a part of their lives.

CLUB

WITH PEN IN HAND

The YOUNG AUTHORS Club is a club where students can express their
creativity through literary’ works. The club is an organization that gathers
student writings to evaluate and publish those of merit.

Ed Whittleman and Laura Sullivan return as the co-sponsors once again
this year. With their help, the students can flourish as writers. They advise
the young authors through all the club’s activities including the publish-
ing of the “Student Voice.”

The main project of the Young Authors club is the publishing of the
“Student Voice” in the spring. It is a magazine that includes poems, essays,
short stories, plays, and some illustrations.

The club sponsors and English teachers encourage students to submit
writings for publication. They contribute a great deal of time and effort to
help these students develop and enhance their writing skills.

The club has three co-editors this year. Mitchell Goldenburg, Katie
Smith, and Bryan Whited encourage fellow students to get their works
published in the Student Voice. Albert Hampton, former sponsor of
Young Authors, once said, “We preserve for posterity the very best writ-
ings of the student body.” Mr. Wittleman and Ms. Sullivan agree and con-
gratulate the young authors who have submitted their writings and draw-
ings for publication. Good luck in securing a bright future.

TRIVIAL PURSUIT

The SCHOLAR BOWL is a club made up of scholastically out-
standing students who have a flair for quick recall of trivial mater-
ial. These students are chosen to represent G.C.H.S. in competi-
tions against other schools in the area. The competitions consist
of questions in the fields of sports, science, art, historv', mathe-
matics, and vocational skills. The competing teams race against a

seniors, and the junior varsity consists of freshmen, sophomores,
and juniors. The captains of the varsity team are Cor\' Simpson,
and Cara Nighohossian. The captains of the junior varsity squad

Jeremiah Beckley alternate.

The sponsors for the scholar bowl are Amy Alsop and Timothy
Wilson. They both are very dedicated to the club and put in many
hours preparing the students for their competitions. Members

at band camp, which is held at the high .schtxil two weeks before school starts. The marching band .sea.son lasts from September to
the end of October. “Sing, Sing, Sing," “Since I fell for You," and "Artistr\’ in Rhythm" were the tunes performed by the marching
Warriors at field shows in Carbondale, O'Fallon, Alton, and the Trans U'orld Dome in St. Louis.

For the remainder of the .schcxil year, the band performed three concerts: the Christmas concert on December 10, the spring
concert on .March 2S, and the Pops in the Park concert on May H.

CHEERLEADERS

LET THE SPIRIT BE WITH YOU

The outcome of many sporting events depends on the enthusiasm of the crowd. To lead the yells and
cheers of the fans is the job of the cheerleaders.

Throughout the year the individual cheerleading groups, known as squads, encourage their various War-
rior teams to victory. They feel it is their responsibility to make sure everyone is full of school spirit.

The squads w’ork ver>' hard to learn their cheers and work on their routines. The hard work all pays off
when the cheers are executed with perfection and precision.

Although cheering may appear easy, this is not the case. Many hours are put into learning and perfecting
each cheer so they can look their best at every game.

For every sport, there is a different group of cheerleaders. They cheer for varsity and junior varsity soc-
cer, varsity and junior varsity basketball, varsity and junior varsity/sophomore football and wrestling. There
is also a freshmen squad.

The varsity football and soccer squads endure many cold evenings cheering their teams. The freshmen
squad was also their for their team. Putting on a pair of long pants under their uniform and wearing some
gloves made the two-hour exposure to the cold a little more bearable.

Both wrestling and basketball cheerleaders enjoy the warmth of the indoors even though their sports are
during the cold winter.

It is a big honor for these girls to be chosen as cheerleaders. They devote much of their precious week-
end time to attend both home and away games. At times they get as much of a workout as do the teams for
which they are cheering.

The ladies behind the scenes that have the large responsibility of sponsoring and managing these girls
are Janet Williams, football and freshmen; Diane Peach, wrestling; Denise Spalding, basketball; Jennifer
Simon; soccer.

The fans and squads are grateful for the time these ladies spend helping, advising, and teaching the girls
and boys on the squads.

COLOR GUARD

PERFORMING WITH PRIDE

The COLOR GUARD is a performance group that requires
dedication, hard work, and skill. These talented young ladies
perform for our school to enhance the spirit of fans.

The girls start out the year with two weeks of band camp in
August. Each member learns drill moves, half-time routines for
the football games, basic marching fundamentals, and basic flag
moves. After attending camp during the summer, the girls must
be able to march and roll step. Also, the girls must be able to
remember a ten-minute show routine. The routine they learn
must be performed while moving to different drill moves on the
football field.

Other than performing at the home football games, the color
guard also performs at May Carousel and at several basketball
games. They also compete at many competitions including
ones at O’Fallon, Alton, the University of Illinois, and a perfor-
mance at the TWA Dome. All these competitions usually are on
Saturday throughout the year.

Each year following May Carousel, they hold tryouts. All the
girls are required to tryout. Each girl, including the captains,
must tryout for the next year. The captains this year are Jamie
Jones and Lisa White.

As with any performing group only the best will do. The
returning color guard girls do their best to be selected on the
squad for another year. They agree it is an honor to be selected
to perform for the school. Their performances show true spirit
and pride.

MUSIC

CHOIRS HARMONIZE WITH STYLE

Music is all around us. Whether it’s in the car or going to a Broadway show, it surrounds us. Many people enjoy
singing, some in the shower, in the car, while walking, or in Mrs. Mueller’s music class.

The Vocal Music Department of GCHS is a dedicated group of students consisting of four different choirs: Girls Glee
Club, Contando, Advanced Mixed Chorus, and Swing Choir. The lady in charge of this is Gail Mueller.

The students do not just sing, they take tours to different schools and give several different concerts during the
school year. They also attend productions at the Fox Theatre or other cultural music events.

Swing Choir performs popular songs with costumes and sets. They attend the State Music concert and perform at
the annual State Musicals. This group represents GCHS throughout the state with their singing abilities.

Advanced Mixed is the advanced chorus with both male and female voices. This group performs classical and pop-
ular music for concerts in our community. Members of our community appreciate their efforts and are always ready
to thank Mrs. Mueller for thinking of them.

Girls Glee is a half hour chorus which perform at the Spring and Christmas Concerts. This class is for students who
enjoy singing, but may not have room in their schedule for an hour of music.

At the end of the year, when all the practices and performances are finished, group members remember the good
times they had performing for the public. They also remember how happy and proud their friends and family were
when they saw them on stage. It is something they will always treasure.

POM-PONS

EXCITING AND DELIGHTING

Spirit is what makes a school fun. It encourages students to enjoy themselves, love their school, and sup-
port their athletic teams. The pom pons are one of the most spirited groups at GCHS. Every year the poms
and their sponsor work hard to create exciting routines to perform for our school.

The music reverberating throughout the room creates an environment which many students find incred-
ibly dance motivating. The poms are not just about dancing. They hold many fund raisers each year, and
also hold an annual pom-pon clinic for grade school children. The clinic teaches creative dance routines
and skills, which some younger students find rewarding.

Poms are always improving their routines. During the summer they attend a camp where they learn how
to create exciting and entertaining performances. All of the members should be recognized for their hard
work and effort, but credit should also be given to their sponsor, Vane.ssa Mattern and captain Amy Pennell.
Mrs. Mattern helps the girls, encourages them, listens to their comments, and is always there to support
them.

Captain Amy Pennell says, “Being a captain of the pom squad has taught me how to be responsible. At the
same time, I have bonded with the girls and they have become like sisters. The feeling when you are per-
forming is unexplainable.”

The next time you see the poms perform, try to appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating excit-
ing and exhilarating performances.

WINTER PLAY

THE FOREIGNER

This years winter play, “The Foreigner”, was a hilarious comedy,
written by Larry Shue. The play was performed on the GCHS stage by
the speech department on Thursday and Friday, January 28 & 29,
1999. This play was directed by Beverley Scroggins.

The setting of the play is a fishing lodge, owned by Betty Meeks
(Amy Pennell), in rural Georgia. The lodge is often visited by Froggy
LeSeuer (Justin Meagher), a British demolition expert. Froggy has
brought along a friend, a very shy young man named Charlie (Ryan
Moenster), who is overcome with fear at the thought of making con-
versation with strangers. So Froggy, before departing, tells them that
Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English.

Once alone, the fun really begins as Charlie overhears more than
he should. He must, therefore, continue the charade. What Charlie
understands fuels the non-stop hilarity of the play. Catherine (Nealie
Ingram) finds out she is pregnant by her fiance Rev. David (Jacob
Kamphoefner). Meanwhile, Owen Musser (Richard Skirball),Jr.) has
been made property inspector and tries to get Betty’s lodge con-
demned. Ellard (David Elliff) is Catherine’s half-wit brother. Charlie
helps Ellard appear ’smart’ so that he may receive his large summed
inheritance. The climax of the play is when Owen whips out a knife
and tells everyone to prepare to meet the Klan. Charlie has a plan that
saves the day. David ends up being a Klu Klux Klan member. Cather-
ine throws David out of the hou.se and talks Charlie into staying at the
lodge. With a little bit of luck, Charlie may be talking with no accent
at all in the future.

Overall, "The Foreigner” was a wonderful comedy that taught
everyone a lesson ... the lesson being, treat everyone equally.

BOWLING

A STRIKING TEAM

New this year to the GCHS sports lineup are the
bt)wling Warriors. This is the first time a bowling
team has ever existed in the history of Granite City
sports.

Several students had the idea of forming a bowl-
ing league and took the idea to a man who loves
the sport, faculty member Bill Puhse. Mr. Puhse is
an excellent bowler and has an exceptional record,
including his perfect 300 game. His advanced
bowling techniques make him a very diligent
coach, able to adapt to the various ways team
members bowl.

Students who wanted to join the team had to
pass an eligibility .screening and tryouts. Home
games are held at the AMF Bowland. Team mem-
bers are allowed a number of games to use for
practice provided by the bowling alley. There are
currently 20 teams from the .southern conference
and six teams from the southwest conference,
with which the Warriors compete.

“1 think everybody is having a really good time,
and enjoy it. We re making big strides to make the
team better for the next year,” said head coach Bill
Puh.se. “Now that the first year of getting every-
thing together and organized is over, we can con-
centrate more on improving the good record of
the team.” added assistant coach Tim Wilson.

The new team promises to make bowling a pop-
ular sport at GCHS. If bowling is your niche, try out
for the team and .see if you can add your talent to
the already good bowlers representing our
schcK)l.

BASKETBALL

TAKING IT TO THE HOOP

Motivation, determination, and concentration was what the boys basketball teams consisted of this year. Each of the teams
worked together as they shared their enthusiasm for the game of basketball.

Practice was tough, but it was also a learning experience. They worked hard as they worked together to create the 1999 teams.
The teams played with much heart and determination and did what they thought right in each situation.

Basketball is a quick thinking game and you can never be too g(X)d. There is always more to learn, but it is a game well worth
learning.

For the 1999 team, this year was a transitional one. The varsity team participated in three tournaments this .season and played
very well. The tournaments were played in Alton, Salem, and Collinsville.

The head coach wasjohn VanBuskirk who taught his young men concentration, and aggressivene.ss. A major part of the team's
succe.ss was due to Coach VanBuskirk. He encouraged long and striving practices from the offensive and defensive players. The
boys learned to work together as a team as each new game became a challenge to them. “This is a good group of young men,” said
Coach VanBuskirk.

The junior varsity team was coached by Carl Leuhman, and the sophomores by David Weller. Coach Daren DePew was in charge
of the freshmen.

The varsity team was ranked fourth in the conference prior to regionals. The captains were Christopher Tindall and Michael Simp-
.son. “The team really needs to pick it up for the remainder of the sea.son.”said Christopher Tindall. The team entered February with
a 12 wins-9 loss record.

The junior varsity, sophomore, freshman teams all had prtxluctive ,seast)ns. The junior varsity captains Ted Wallace and Jonathan
Franko led the team to a succe.ssful sea.son. Branden Smith and Andrew MacTaggart were chosen as sophomore captains. As fresh-
men captains, Joshua McCoy and Patrick Meuren t(X)k control of the team while on the court.

“The sophomores progres.sed considerably during the course of the season. Their hard work paid off in a first-place champi-
onship in the Civic Memorial Tournament. We are hoping that kind of success will carry over to next sea.son.” .said Coach David
Weller of his sophomore team.

Overall the team was succe.ssful with many victories. They played their best for Coach VanBuskirk and the school, but mostly for
them.selves. Setting individual goals and meeting them gave each of the members an extra edge to improve their performances...
thus improving the team.

BOYS SOCCER

BELIEVE IT AND ACHIEVE IT

As always, there were high expectations for the Warrior stKcer team going into the 1998 season. The team started
the season a little differently this year. Instead of the traditional midnight practice the team endured many informal
summer workouts to try to raise their game to the next level.

It was another milestone year for returning coach Gene Baker. This was Coach Baker’s 26th year of coaching W ar-
rior soccer. During his reign as head coach he has made many accomplishments including winning nine state cham-
pionships, receiving the national coach of the year award in 1983 and 1988, and al.so coaching the most high school
wins in America. His amazing success is recognized all over the area.

With Coach Baker in charge and assistant coaches Virgil Kirksey, David Ames, and Barry Grote devoting their much
appreciated help, the W'arriors had a very successful soccer sea.son this year. Led by seniors, Corey Winfield and Bran-
don Williams as well as the exuberance of 12 underclassmen on the varsity team, the Warriors were primed for soccer
glory. They went on to post a record of 12-6-5 and became the Southwest Conference champions. Their .sea,son includ-
ed convincing wins over Belleville East, Collinsville, and a tie with the small schools Illinois State Champion Sacred
Heart Griffin (Springfield). The W'arriors were ranked in the area top ten all season long, and were recognized for their
success.

Senior forward David Margrabe scored 15 goals this year and was voted to the All Conference, All State, and All Mid-
west teams. He was also named the team MVP. Seniorgoal keeper Brandon Williams and junior defender Jarod MacMil-
lian were also voted to the All Conference team and Williams won the David Morgan award for sportsmanship and ded-
ication. Williams set a great example with his conduct on and off the field. Senior midfielder Corey Winfield was given
the award of being the team catalyst and also received All Sectional honors along with sophomore forward Mike Smith.

The junior varsity team, coached by Virgil Kirksey, also had a winning season. They finished with a record of 8 wins,
5 lo.sses, and 2 ties. Barry Grote’s freshmen team had an extremely strong .season, racking up 7 wins, 3 los.ses, and 4
ties.

The 1998 season was full of positives. The hard work and dedication that all the Warriors gave to the .soccer program
paid great dividends in the end. The entire team should be proud of them.selves. The fans are definitely prttud of them
and thank the team for another good .sea.son.

RUN WITH THE WIND

Walking is one of the most popular ways to exercise. For .some run-
ning is even better. For tho.se who chtKxse to walk, watch out,
because yt)u may be pa.s.sed up by the cross country team.

Only tho.se who love to run long distances should tr\- out for the
team. Practice was held daily after sch(H)l until approximately 5:00
P..M. After the practice, members were required to do their warm
down exercises.

The beginning of the .school year brought the beginning of the
cross country sea.son. It was aLso time for the Granite City Invita-
tional. The Invitational consisted of approximately 200 entries.

As a mid-.season tune up for the regional championships. Granite
City ran ver>- competitively at the Edwardsville Invitational on the
SlU cross country’ course.

This year Granite City placed fifth out of nine teams. This was
enough to qualib’ the entire team. In the Sectionals, the running
'X'arriors beat all teams within our region, with the exception of
Etiwardsville.

Runners who gave good performances in the IHSA Sectionals at
Centralia were Kevin .^tkin,s who placed 20th, Andrew Balcer 29th,
Gerald Curtis 8"^th, Dennis Davis 92nd, Richard Skirhall 120th, and
James Murphy who completed his run in 128th place. Richard Skir-
hall was chosen to be the “most improved" this year.

The coaches for the team were Thomas Haefner and Paul Greve.
Volunteers coaches were Thomas .Miller anti Richard Skirhall. They
helped teach the pros and cons of running, and were always there to
give encouraging words. Most importantly, they helped push their
athletes to be their best and run their fastest. The team members
appreciate all the kind words and effort.

BOYS WITH TRUE GRIT

The 1998-99 Warrior football team started the year with high expectations. They hoped they could prove to them-
selves and the fans that their hard work and determination would give them a great season.

This year, however, the Warriors ended their season with three wins and six lo.sses. These numbers did not show
the time and effort the team put into their practices every day after .school. The numbers also did not show the true
talent of the football players and coaches.

This year, the team was made up of many talented athletes, many returning from last year and some new additions
to the team. Whether a team member made the game-winning stop or the game-winning touchdown, the talent of
each young man was obvious to the fans.

Each of the team members gave all their effort throughout the season. Some were honored with special awards at
the banquet held at the clo.se of the .sea.son. This year Michael Simp,son was honored with the "Keith Lucas Award”,
Anthony Komoromi received the “John Tarpoff Award”, and Craig Mooshegian was honttred with the “Rudy Award”.

The coaches also voted on their pick for Most Valuable Player. This award is given for different positions of the foot-
ball team. This years recipients were Brtioks Narvaez for his offensive skills and Anthony Randazzo for this defensive
skills.

The varsity coach this year was Nick Petrillo. He was assisted by his a.ssistant coaches, Daren DePew, Tim Moran,
and Ron Yates.

The junior varsity team showed an outstanding performance this year by sporting a nine win, zero lo.ss .season. This
was the second year the boys could claim this record. The boys first accomplished this when they were freshmen. This
is an example of how history can repeat it.self, as did the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. The team was coached by
Carl Luehmann and Greg Garland.

The freshmen team al.so worked vigorously this year. They had difficult moments, but they pulled through with a
four win, five lo.ss sea.son. The boys plan to work hard and be prepared for an outstanding sea.son next year. The team
was coached by Chuck Kraus and volunteer coach joe Wallace.

At the end of this year the .seniors will look back and remini.sce about the .sea.son. The undercla.ssmen will, howev-
er, look to see the shoes they need to fill.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

THE HOOPIN’ LADY WARRIORS

Basketball is not a sport where you just dribble a ball. To the l^dy Warrior team, it is about hard work,
dedication, and determination. The girls practice daily after school to perfect their skills, such as dribbling,
passing, and shooting.

The varsity team was led by captains Jan Shanafelt, Debra Aaron and Jessica Wallace. They were coached
byjohn Moad.

All teams greatly improved this year, especially varsity. This shows the dedication and cooperation of
every girl on the team. The varsity team started out the season on a very impressive note. They won some
of the more important games and beat teams they have never beaten before. The varsity team finished the
season with 13 wins and 14 losses.

Varsity participated in two tournaments throughout their season. The Alton Tournament over Thanks-
giving and the Nashville Tournament during Christmas break.

The Junior varsity team finished the season with seven wins and eleven losses. “We could easily have been
over .500, but came up short in some close games. Overall the girls worked hard and improved, so it was a
successful season.” .said Paul Macios.

The freshmen team also improved greatly from last year. The team was lead by their captain Kelly Mitchell
and coached by Bruce Frank. “The girls program made great strides this year. We learned how to win, and
that can be contagious,” .said Bruce Frank. The freshmen team finished the season 1 1 wins, and 12 los.ses.

All the girls thank their coaches for such a good sea.son. They are aware of the countless hours these ded-
icated men contribute to the program and thank them for their help.

THE SWINGING SINGLES

This year the girl’s tennis team was filled with a great variety of talent.
Practicing ever\' day after school, the girls worked diligently to improve
the basic skills necessary' to play a great game of tennis. With the help of
Coach Linda Ames and of the newly hired assistant coach, Julie Klueter,
the girls were instructed and corrected on their skills. They started off
with a 6-1 win over McCluer North, and ended the sea.son with a 6-10
record. This record did not represent the talent the girls possessed or how
determined they were throughout the year.

The girls also participated in the Civic Memorial Doubles Tournament
at Gordon Moore Park in Alton. The team finished .second behind Jer-
.seywille and every' member that attended placed first, second, or third.
They each received a medal to honor their wins. The next tournament was
a conference match in which the team finished fifth. It was highly expect-
ed that the girls would finish near the top.

The varsity team was led by four seniors, four juniors, and two sopho-
mores. The junior varsity team consisted of five freshmen and one junior.

At the end of the .sea.son awards banquet, the members received indi-
vidual awards. These awards were varsity letters, sophomore patches and
numerals for the freshmen. Mrs. Ames and Miss Klueter al.so handed out
the special awards. The first award handed out was Most Valuable Senior.
Co-captains Jan Shanafelt and Robyn Slater received this one.

The next awards were the Coaches Awards. The ladies who received
the.se were Sarah Doty and Amanda Pashea. Robyn Slater and Amanda
Pashea were named to the 2nd Team All Conference in tennis.

In all, the girls on the team fought hard and will be ready for another
competitive .season next year. Let the new year begin.

LEAN GREEN SWINGING MACHINES

Stand straight, knees slightly bent, hands tightly on the club, concentrate, and SWING. It takes
long hours of practice and hard work to master the game of golf With a great deal of coordination
and athletic skill, one will eventually be able to conquer the sport.

The 1998 Warrior golf team coached by Boone Chaney had a successful year with very many
achievements. The team consisted of many talented students who finished the year with out-
standing scores. The team all together had a very remarkable year by ending their season with an
remarkable record of 13 wins and 6 loses.

Other accomplishments the team had this year was placing first at the IHSA Regional and first at
the Panther Classic. The team also placed third at the Centralia Orphan Classic and third at the Mas-
coutah Tournament.

Certain team members were recognized for their terrific performance. They were Matt Roustio,
JeffJerden and Brett Briggs.

The team was coached by Boone Chaney. Coach Chaney was pleased about the team’s great sea-
son. Assistant coach Allen Lobdell also proved to be an helpful assistant. “The regional win was
great, but we will do a better job next year.” concluded Allen Lobdell.

CHALLENGING THE NET

The Lady Warriors started the season with high expectations and goals. The team consisted of six return-
ing seniors and three other returning members. This year’s captains were Kristen Ely and Leah Gamblin.
The varsity team was led by returning coach, Beth Seel.

The Spikers began their practices in the last weeks of August. The season officially started on September
3 against Bethalto Civic Memorial. Thegirls played a tough match but fell short ofa victory. The team worked
very well together and prepared to make minor improvements.

The varsity team participated in several tournaments during the season. They competed at the
Collinsville Invitational, the Granite City Fall Classic, and the Freeburg Invitational. The team fell short of
their goals this year with not as many victories as they expected. Unfortunately the team ended the season
with a loss to Highland in the first round of Regionals.

The Junior Varsity team was coached by Ruth Uyton. The players showed great enthusiasm and desire
to win. Their hard work and dedication paid off. Many of the players were moved up to varsity this year and
those who were not have great potential for next year.

The Freshmen team was coached by Stephanie Kult. The team learned the fundamentals of volleyball
throughout the season, and placed second in the Hazelwood Fast Invitational. They played some great
games and the coaches look for great additions to the junior varsity and varsity teams next year.

as he led the wrestling team through a challenging 1999 schedule.

Coach Garland's Warrior wrestlers continue to uphold Granite City High Schtxil's proud athletic tradition as they earn recognition and trophies
for outstanding performances and victories.

Through the values taught by Coach Garland and the experiences gained in the wrestling program, the GCHS wrestlers had a unique and unfor-
getable experience. They learned honesty, helpfulness, and friendship. They created a momentum that could be .seen in all areas of campus life.
The students of GCHS appreciate your enthusiasm and .say 'thank you' fora great season. Gtxxl luck next year.

SAME TIME NEXT YEAR

Baseball is a sport which exhibits players’ individual talents. The 1998 Warriors baseball team proved
that 16 individuals could work together to form a sensational team.

It’s a favorite pastime of many students here at GCHS, and is a serious and demanding part of their
life. Others play in hope of gaining some type of athletic .scholarship. Still, more play for the love of this
all-American sport.

This year’s captains were Scott Smallie, Jeffrey Hayden, and Dustin Brewer. Their outstanding lead-
ership allowed the players to improve on their talent.

The varsity Warriors finished the season with a record of 16 wins and 14 loses. Scott Smallie led the
team in hits with a batting average of .424, followed byjeffrey Hayden, who finished with an average of
.374.

Dustin Brewer had an outstanding season as the team’s star pitcher with an earned run average of
2.21. Brewer was also drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 22nd round of the amateur draft.

Coaches of the 1998 varsity baseball team were head coach Gus Lignoul, and assistant coaches Daren
DePew and Robert Varady. Coach Lignoul said, “The group was a hard working team. They improved as
the sea.son progressed and were a lot of fun to work with.”

The coach of the sophomore team was John Moad. The freshmen team was led by Ed Whittleman,
and Timothy Wilson. Congratulations to the ba.seball team and coaches. Goodbye to the seniors and
good luck in the future.

THE GCHS SWINGERS

With racket in hand, every spring the boys tennis team is ready to prove themselves to the other schools. With
the leadership of coach Allen Lobdell, volunteer coach Raffi Karibian, and the senior tennis players, the younger
members have many role models to follow.

Through hours of vigorous practices, the team is always prepared to take the challenge of the best teams in
the area. The teams that give Granite City players their best competition are Edwardsville, Alton, Belleville East,
Belleville West, and AJthoff.

Whether playing in singles or doubles, tbe best way to beat these teams is to practice faithfully on serving, lob-
bing, the forehand, backhand, half volley and volley. Dedication to the sport will lead to victories.

This year’s team was led by seniors Steven Graham and Mark Achenbach. Steven advanced to sectionals, but
unfortunately did not go to state. The Warriors finished the season with .seven wins and nine losses.

Although the team did not win every match, they maintained a good attitude. Mr. Lobdell always paid tbe boys
good compliments, win or lose. He was always there for them with a pat on the back or some kind of encourag-
ing words.

Even after tbe .sea.son came to a clo.se, each of the players had special memories of their victories. Good luck
to coach Lobdell and his players in the 1999 sea.son.

KICKING THROUGH THE SEASON

Everyone sets goals in life. Whether big or small, difficult or easy to accomplish, goals are like building blocks
for our future. Every person, in the process of succeeding in life, has to overcome hurdles and sidestep every
distraction in order to devote every effort to accomplishing his or her dreams.

The girls’ soccer team knows all about goals and what it takes to achieve them. The object of the game they
play is to subdue their opponents, think quickly, and work as a team to fulfill their goals. Each girl puts forth every
ounce of effort, using her skills and uniting with the other members of her team to assist in the team’s success.
Practices are strenuous, for the girls are required to complete extensive calisthenics, sprint training, and scrim-
mages in order to be in the best shape and perfect their skills before games.

Gene Baker is the girls’ soccer coach. He has coached Granite City Soccer for 26 years, and has led the team
through .some incredible .seasons. Virgil Kirk.sey and A1 Harris are this year’s assistant coaches. With their help
the team flourished. The captains for the year were Meli.s.sa Montgomery, Ismahan Mohsen, and Erika Todd. The
three girls are excellent .soccer players and are very dedicated to doing a good job.

The team did an excellent job. The varsity team’s record was 9-3-2. Some of their exceptional accomplishments
included beating Incarnate Word and ranking fourth in the St. Louis area. After each game, the girls listened to
the applause and knew that they worked for a victory and they earned it with pride.

SWING TO WIN

Softball is a very competitive sport that takes skill, hard work, dedication, and a lot of team work. This year’s
team consisted of five seniors: Jenna Wright, Laurie Bohnenstiehl, Kerry Lasiter, Kara Coleman, and Jennifer Will-
man. The coaches were Deb Germann, Brian Harshany, and Rick Ahlvers.

The girls spend long, hard hours practicing in the sun every day. This sport requires the players to think quick,
react fast, and accurately play the ball. Jan Shanafelt commented on the team, “After placing fourth in the Cahokia
tournament, the team played really well together. We should expand on that and have a great season next year.”
The varsity team finished the sea.son with 10 wins and 15 losses. Coach Germann had this to say about the sea-
son, “I’m very impressed with the way that the team worked together and how they played this year.”

Some of the players received conference awards this year. Jan Shanafelt received second team all-conference
and Jessica Reader received honorable mention. Robyn Slater was the best defensive player, Jan Shanafelt was
the most valuable player, and Jessica Reader was best offensive player. They received the.se awards at the .soft-
ball banquet.

The junior varsity team was coached by Rick Ahlvers. The team improved throughout the .season. The team’s
record for the .season was 5 wins and 10 lo.s.ses. They showed good sportsmanship and were always willing to
a.ssist each other to improve their skills. Throughout the .sea.son, the girls tried to achieve the goals they had
made for themselves at the beginning of the year. They also did their best to have the most fun possible and still
be a competitive softball team.

SEE HOW THEY RUN

On your mark, get set, GO! The runners are off racing to the finish line. The Granite City track team once again began
their season with an intense pre-season program. This prepares the athletes mentally and physically. Long hours of dedi-
cation and hard work is mandatory. Weight lifting, jogging, sprinting, and jumping are all part of conditioning practices.

Gene Briggs is head coach of the largest team at GCHS. Assistant coaches are I-arry Curry, who is in charge t)f shot and
discus; Paul Macios, in charge of jumping, Tom Miller, distance events; and Cindy Christopher, who coaches sprinters.

Track consists of many events. Field events are discus, shot put, triple jump, high jump, and long jump. Individual run-
ning events consist of the one and two mile run, 100, 200, 400 and 800 yard run and the hurdles.

The girls run 100 yard intermediate hurdles and 300 yard low hurdles while the boys run 1 10 yard high hurdles and 300
yard intermediate hurdles. Relays include the 4X100, 4X200, 4X400 and 4X800 and the medley relay for the girls.

The track team consisted of many younger players performing at the varsity level. The younger talent did well against the
more experienced athletes. If the younger girls keep up the great work, GCHS has the potential of becoming a dominate
team in the area. The boys team is made up of mostly upperclassmen, who had a tremendous sea.son; preforming well above
standards.

On June 13, the track team held the first Warrior Pride Stride. Participants could run five kilometers or walk/run two kilo-
meters. The money collected benefits the track program by purchasing uniforms, paying for coaching clinics, and other
needed equipment.

Everyone agrees this was a progressive year. The players had fun throughout the season and look forward to playing next
year.

CRAZY FOR YOU

The new Gershwin musical, "Crazy For You” was presented on April 29, 30 and May 1. The play was a wonderful way to finish the 1997-
98 school year. The cast did a remarkable job, and the show was a great success. This musical, as with all musicals, took a great deal of time,
work, and dedication, and the cast this year was capable of such an involvement. The spring musical was directed by Mrs. Mary Bright,
choreographed by Mrs. Margaret Holland Pennell, and set design was by Mrs. Beverley Scroggins.

The play is centered around a young, ambitious dancer, Bobby Child, played by Jacob Kamphoefner, who goes to Deadrcxk, Nevada,
to foreclose a mortgage on an old theatre. While he is there, he falls in love with Polly Baker, a beautiful girl, played by Amy Pennell. Bobby
decides that he will trv to keep the theatre open by putting on a show to raise enough money to pay off the mortgage.

Polly finds out the true reason Bobbv is in Deadrock and decides not to see him again. In hopes to win her affections back, Bobby pre-
tends to be the famous New York director, Bela Zangler. The only problem is the real Bela Zangler, played by Ryan Moenster, shows up in
Deadrock. This confuses everyone, especially Polly, and they all come to the decision not to put on a show in the theatre. Bobby eventu-
ally wins Polly’s heart and others in the play also fall in love with each other. Everett and Bobby’s mother fall in love, Tess and the real Bela
Zanger, and Irene and Unk. This wonderful musical is full of Gershwin songs which are performed by the actors and singers of GCHS per-
fectly. Several songs in the play were, “I’ve Got Rhythm”, “Someone To Watch Over Me”, and “Krazy For You”.

Other actors and actresses in this musical were Natasha Mangiaracino (Tess), Laura Nicol (Irene), Scott Laird (Lank), Justin Kuenkler
(Everett), Regina Wright (Perkins), Camille Fensterman (Mother), Marc Johnson (Eugene), and Lora Smallman (Patricia).

Some of the main Cowboys included Eddie Connolly, Dave Cook, Andy Elliff, Justin Meagher, Chris Singleton, Jason Acord, Tom Petril-
lo, Tony Mell, Daniel James, and Todd McQueen. Other Cowboys in the production were Andy Ravanelli, Charlie Atkins, Jeremy Cham-
pion, Daniel Robens, Arnaud Dupaquier, Mike Simpson, Ricky Wotxlard, Kyle Bridges, and Matthew Gibson.

The Follies Girls were Christina Clutts, Ruth Mortenson, Tracy Hatley, Sarah Harris, Alicia Gaines, Stephanie Ambuehl, Megan Bilyeu,
Katie Serrano, Valerie Hankes, Melissa Lueke, Amy Krieshok, Susan Baker, Christina Brand, Ashley Slover, Diane Uckenbrock, Amanda

Boone, Peggy Hammond, Amanda Rodgers, Susan Gauvin, Madrigal Vorce and Julie Mills.

There were also other actresses who helped out to make this a great musical. The company consisted of Christine Spudich, Dimana
Spudich, Linda Dohnal, Sarah Moutria, Staci Padgett, Marla VanSickle, and Amber Schmisseur. The stagehand and dressers were Julia
Fuhrman, Megan Solomon, Tara Sander, Jamie Briggs, Lindsay Heath, and Renee Condray. They all joined in the fun of dancing and singing
to give this show an extra lift.

This musical gave many students a fun opportunity for a memorable experience in high school. Congratulations to all of the cast mem-
bers, production staff, Mary Bright, Beverley Scroggins, Margaret Holland Pennell, and everyone else involved for making this spring musi-
cal a fantastic success.

MARDI GRAS MASQUERADE

On April 25, 1998, the Pipefitters Hall held yet another spectacular event, the Granite City High School senior
prom. The evening was filled with dinner and dancing. The guys looked handsome in their tuxedos, and the
ladies looked stunning in their gowns.

It was not easy to prepare for a prom. Students had to select and pick up their appropriate apparel. Flowers
and limousines were also in big demand. The Student Council Prom Committee ordered decorations, prepared
the menu, and answered everyone’s question concerning prom. Time and dedication led to this special evening.

The first week in March was set aside for prom ticket sales. The price ranged from $50 to $55. As usual, cou-
ples were allowed to sit with whoever they liked.

Before going to the Pipefitters Hall, prom attendants stopped by the park to meet their friends, and to take
pictures in the gazebo. Once the groups were together, those candid shots began. Everyone could finally show
off their hard work.

When the doors to the Pipefitters Hall opened, the Mardi Gras Masquerade theme was evident. Purple, Green,
and Gold decorations were spread throughout. “It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday” by Boyz To Men and
“Celebration” by Kool And The Gang were this years featured songs. This was the first year the theme of the prom
was different than the song title. This year’s meal consisted of; carved steamboat round, chicken tenders in wild
rice, corn, mostaccioli, salad, rolls, twice baked potatoes and for desert, cheesecake. “A Dedication” by Wes
Reed, which was this year’s class poem, was displayed in the prom program. All of these components led to a fes-
tive and fun, yet elegant, prom.

Prom is cherished by all seniors and thought of as a closure to their time in high school. Many thoughts and
memories come out at prom which will be treasured for life. The 1998 senior prom was truly an enchanting
evening.

A STEP INTO THE FUTURE

Graduation is both an ending and a beginning. It is the last day the graduating seniors will enter the high sch(H)l as students, and it is
the first day of the rest of their lives. The graduates have endured high school, progressing from nervous freshmen to confident seniors.

High school has given everyone many wonderful memories. GtK)d times and friends have outweighed all the long term papers, manda-
tory final exams, and brief di.sagreements. The seniors will leave here, not only with the memories, but with the confidence and knowl-
edge needed to tackle their future without fear.

Graduation was heidjune 5, 1998, at the Memorial Stadium. Seniors, dressed in theircaps and gowns, marched to theirseats as “Pomp
and Circumstance” played. Then, all rose as Julie Wilkinson sang “The Star Spangled Banner.”

The ceremony was officially opened by Principal R. William Rotter who greeted everyone with an opening speech. Superintendent Dr.
Steve Balen also addressed the graduates and audience with his words of wisdom.

Valedictorian Timothy Dittman was next t(t speak to the attentive crowd. Before he made his approach to the ptxlium, his grade point
average of 5.645 was announced. After he spoke, Salutatorian Salina Morlen gave her speech entitled “Life." Salina had a grade point aver-
age of 5.595. After the speeches, Valerie Hankes delighted everyone as she sang, “God Bless America.”

The moment the seniors had been anticipating for four years finally arrived. The administrative staff and the board members distrib-
uted diplomas to each graduate. The smiles on the faces of these graduates as they grasped their diplomas was one all the graduation par-
ticipants will always remember. Good-bye, so long, see you later, it’s been fun, and come back to visit us when you have some free time.

BETWEEN THE LINES

This book constitutes a labor of love, details a fondness for Granite City High School, and records the history of
the past year.The school year has concluded, and the contents of this 408-page book wttuld not be possible with-
out the dedication of several individuals. Their unceasing support and vision for the outcome of the book motivat-
ed tho.se around them, and created a momentum which did not cea.se until the printing of the last page.

Granite City High School is at the beginning of our adult years. As the high .school fades into the di.stance, what
we take away from our experiences here will direct our internal compass forever. Some of us will cro.ss a shaky
bridge, some will opt to travel Route 66, some will rush the boundless Autobahn, and others will take a leisurely
country road.

We speed into adulthood, learn along the way, and only hope that we will accelerate on our individual rttute, cre-
ating memories and experiences no one will ever be able to take from us.

We will remember our times here as a time of sharing and caring. The composition of each of our circle of friends
matters only to each of us, and although some may view that circle larger than others, when all the circles connect-
ed, we truly formed the tradition and spirit that is uniquely Granite City High Schtxjl.

Each of the members of the yearbook staff gave a piece of them.selves to the completion of this book, whether
they knew it or not. The linking of each of their backgrounds and interests contributed to the succe.ss of the War-
rior yearbook chain. They will always be connected through this chain and their circles will always be connected
with one another as they complete their travels throughout the rest of their lives.

Thank you 1999 yearbook staff. As your roads merged and you became involved in the yearbook experience,
acquaintances became friends. Interaction between all of you created a constant flurry of words and activity. The
meshing of 13 individuals created a dynamic classroom that energized the .school. Together you emitted a cen-
trifugal force, yet each of you remained rooted in personal accomplishments. Together you grew in wisdom and
made an impact on the 1999 Warrior book.

Thank you Kristen, the editor of the .senior section. You joined the yearbook staff and have actively participated
in the class for two years. The organizations you joined in high school shaped your academic experience. Each orga-
nization and sport established a facet of your personality along your road to success. You charted yt)ur individual
course and went forward determined to meet your goals.

Thank you Christine and Dimana, my 1999 yearbook co-editors and twin daughters. Throughout this year you
were on .some smooth roads, fast speeds, detours, and bumps. You still managed to accelerate forward and com-
plete your mission.

You’ve spent four years at GCHS and two years in yearbook. You will walk away from this school different and
wi.ser than you arrived. Each of your four years have been very different from one another, but each have enabled
you to become stronger, more confident, independent adults. Your perceptions will be altered, your lives forever
changed, and your outlooks revised as your odometer climbs with mileage of a shared experience.

You are ending your high school academic road trip. As you begin college and take a test drive, you will each dis-
cover your own idiosyncrasies and eccentricities. No two people can claim the exact .same interests in every facet of
their personality, hence, you will each navigate your own course through your college experience. May it be a good
one.

To the yearbook staff of 2000 .. good luck. May you meet your challenges and produce a product worthy to this
one.
